Through small group interactions, students will receive instruction and professional training in legal English language skills in the areas of legal writing, legal vocabulary, academic reading, and professional speaking and listening. This experience will help participants prepare for success in law-related education and careers by building skills and confidence to write, speak, and listen in the context of the American legal system. |
