Welcome to LawTalk...a free social wiki for Legal English

What is this?

This wiki is designed for people who are teaching, studying, or otherwise involved in the field of Legal English (see this webinar for a little more on the methodology). It should provide reference material on English as a foreign language as it is used in legal contexts, for creating documents, negotiating or dealing with real disputes and procedures or in academic study of the law in different jurisdictions...and also on textbooks available in this area.

If you would like to participate in the wiki and related social activities please request a user account here Unfortunately automatic registrations are no longer allowed.
