Cambridge International Legal English Certificate

The world’s first internationally-recognised test of Legal English.

English is an essential tool for any lawyer working with international matters. It is the lingua franca of the legal profession, of business and international affairs.

Employers need to know that the legal staff they appoint have a sufficient level of English to be able to communicate with clients and professionals in other countries, and to handle information written in English.

At the same time, law students and newly-qualified lawyers need to be able to show employers that they have these skills. The new Cambridge ILEC examination was created to meet these needs.

Internationally recognised

ILEC is a Cambridge ESOL examination, produced and assessed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, in collaboration with TransLegal – Europe’s leading firm of lawyer-linguists. It is recognised by leading associations of lawyers including the European Company Lawyers Association, the European Law Students Association, the International Association of Young Lawyers, and the European Young Bar Association.
