Before ordering a language course, a small investment in TransLegal’s Legal English Audit will tell you where your time and money are best spent. The Legal English Audit is an on-demand diagnostic test of Legal English in a commercial law context set at an intermediate to advanced level covering levels B1‐C1 of the Council of Europe’s CEFR scale. The audit tests all four language skills (reading, listening, writing and speaking) and is based on realistic tasks of the kind legal practitioners face.
A lawyer’s work product is usually produced in written form and the quality of that work product is what distinguishes him or her from other lawyers. This test adds a writing module to the basic online test and gives you scores for 3 out of the 4 language skills based on the Council of Europe’s CEFR scale.The results are provided in a language report which can be used to help determine whether you are at an appropriate level to take the Cambridge International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) or whether study is required and, if so, what courses are the most appropriate.
