| The course aims to familiarise students with the Anglo-American legal system and culture (origins, foundations and principles of Common Law) by addressing certain general themes of public and private law through various legal sources (doctrine, case law, legislation) and current events. The general learning objective is also to introduce students to legal practice (e.g. introduction to certain legal methods, professions and procedures). Designed in an active way, it should enable the student, at the end of the year, to acquire : ● a basic knowledge of Anglo-American structures, major concepts and terminology ; ● consult, understand and synthesise legal documentation in English ● to explain and discuss in understandable language and using appropriate terminology, simple legal situations and the basic structures and concepts of the legal systems taught. The aim of the course is thus to achieve both passive and, as far as possible, active understanding and knowledge of legal English. In this way, the student who has completed the Common English and Legal English course will have acquired the necessary skills to follow a legal course in English in BLOCK 3, thus fulfilling the language learning objectives of the Faculty of Law. |
