This course refines oral communication skills of international students in the Intensive Legal English + LL.M. program. Speaking clearly and persuasively to a variety of legal and lay-audiences is an essential skill in law school and the practice of law. Students practice debating, leading and participating in discussions related to the law, and preparing and delivering at least two formal presentations about cases. The course also focuses on role plays involving phone calls, interviews, mediation and negotiation. Grammar and pronunciation lessons are presented, monitored and edited both by the instructor and the students themselves. A central component of the course is mastery of both general academic and legal vocabulary.
