The Lawyer's English Language Coursebook
We are delighted to announce the publication in June 2007 of this definitive guide to learning legal English. Already acclaimed in pilot classes as the most relevant and user-friendly textbook on the market, this step-by-step course is the result of years of classroom experience. The authors, Catherine Mason and Rosemary Atkins, are UK's highly respected and dynamic teachers of legal English. You and your students will benefit from:

• legal vocabulary clearly explained
• a unique preposition and collocation focus
• a step-by-step guide to modern contracts with authentic examples throughout
• real drafting skills for the office
• the terminology of commercial law in context
• letter writing made easy

The book is ideal for classroom use or self-study. It is divided into ten units, with each unit separated into two sections – Unit A/Foundation and Unit B/Higher. Unit B builds on the skills taught in Unit A You can use the book to suit your class’s needs or simply work through it from start to finish.

Some of the exam centres featured on this website (indicated by a blue and white flag) provide specialist courses that teach legal English to EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. Taking one of these courses can be a valuable method of preparing for the TOLES examinations. Global Legal English does not however endorse specific courses.

Choosing a English for Law course
Whilst the TOLES office is not able to recommend specific courses, you should consider the following points when choosing a course:

• Is the content of the course up to date and relevant, focusing on Company and Contract law, not Criminal law?
• How much of the course focuses on legal English rather than general English?
• Do the teachers have legal qualifications as well as qualifications in teaching English as a foreign language?
