Legal writing. Юридическая переписка на английском языке
Цель семинара
Усовершенствовать уровень как общего, так специализированного языка, что дает возможность всестороннего развития навыков деловой переписки на английском языке.
The course is designed to enhance professionals' English writing capacities, with a specific focus on Anglo-Saxon legal terminology and principles. Concentrating on business law terminology, this course will assist practicing lawyers, advanced law students, legal translators and paralegals to become comfortable in working with English "legalese."
Advanced legal writing is a session touching on topics of style, presentation, grammar, common mistakes, and punctuation.
In many legal settings specialized forms of written communication are required. In many others, writing is the medium in which a lawyer must express their analysis of an issue and seek to persuade others on their clients' behalf. Any legal document must be concise, clear, and conform to the objective standards that have evolved in the legal profession.
There are generally two types of legal writing. The first type requires a balanced analysis of a legal problem or issue. The second type of legal writing is persuasive.
The drafting of legal documents, such as contracts and wills, is yet another type of legal writing. Guides are available to aid a lawyer in preparing the documents but a unique application of the "form" to the facts of the situation is often required. Poor drafting can lead to unnecessary litigation and otherwise injure the interests of a client.
This course will allow attendees to create concise and clear legal writing for use in a variety of situations.
