Practical Legal English

The app is designed for upper-intermediate and advanced learners of English who wish to improve their linguistic proficiency and develop a deeper understanding of legal English across a range of legal contexts.

It is particularly suitable for learners seeking to strengthen:

• the acquisition and accurate use of legal terminology;
• advanced reading and listening comprehension skills;
• the ability to understand and analyse legal texts and legal reasoning;
• familiarity with the language used by legal professionals in practice.

The app features a wide range of exercises, including the analysis of recent landmark cases, statutory provisions, and listening activities based on authentic legal materials. Rather than relying on artificial legal English exercises, it uses realistic tasks drawn from real legal sources, including court judgments, legislation, and law textbooks.

Every exercise serves a practical purpose and introduces vocabulary, collocations, and legal concepts that English lawyers genuinely use in professional practice.

The topics covered in this app include:

1. The Legal Profession and Professional Responsibility
2. The Development of Common Law & Equity
3. Capacity and Vulnerable Adults
4. Inheritance Law
5. Negligence
6. Malicious Falsehood and Defamation
7. Human Rights
8. Employment Law
9. Substantive Criminal Law
10. Criminal Procedure
