Legal Writing Course

Overview

Your ability to write clearly and correctly is the basis upon which clients will assess your professional ability. Lawyers must master accurate legal writing to progress their careers. Every document you write should demonstrate that you are a professional, clearheaded, knowledgeable and accurate lawyer - just the type that clients want to deal with.

There are 2 versions of the British Legal Centre’s legal writing course. The first is the live broadcast course of 15 lessons of 45 minutes each, followed by written home-tasks with individual feedback from the trainer. The second version is provided in a set of 60 recorded videos lasting for around 12 minutes each, followed by inter-active exercises after every lesson. The recorded course is for busy lawyers with changing work patters who are unable to comit to the set times and days of the live 45 minute broadcasts. Both courses teach the essential skills of writing clear, concise and precise letters, documents and contracts.

Both versions of the course presents key written communication skills in an easy to follow style.

All the teachers are either practicing British lawyers, working in the area of Commercial and Contract Law or experienced teachers of Law and Legal English.

The 60 unit recorded course has the benefit of being more suitable for lawyers who have little time to study but can find 15 - 20 minutes during the day to watch a lesson and then complete the inter-active exerciss.
