Their comments about legal language and skills they listed as most relevant in their context included working with written texts (judgments, case law, contracts), drafting of contracts and correspondence, translating and cooperation with professional translators and speaking skills. The presentation documents some changes in a legal English syllabus and shares materialsand activities developed on the basis of such a ´transferred? needs analysis survey.
