The field of law has not only its very particular terminology, which has developed over the centuries, but also great cultural differences. These cultural differences make it difficult to translate from one language to another. We therefore attach great importance to offering trainers with legal training. Our trainers have often worked in the legal field or have legal qualifications. However, the positive response to our online programmes during the lockdown prompted us to organise our intensive courses digitally from 08.11.2021. You now have the choice if you want to complete your intensive course with us on site or in the virtual classroom.

Prospective teachers attend a four-week full-day course developed by the University of Cambridge. At the end of the training is the CELTA certificate (CELTA = Certificate in English Language Training to Adults). Unjust enrichment, Code of Criminal Procedure, civil law – these are some of the countless terms that can be found in the field of legal English.
Our goal is to offer a language course with a structured legal vocabulary that is based on a solid grammatical foundation and leads to a fast and effective learning process. We have a team of native speakers who are specially trained in legal language and will bring their knowledge to meet the requirements of your course. All students are required to take the courses “Introduction to Legal English” and “Foundations of Contract Law”. Students may voluntarily take other courses in other legal languages or general language courses. In addition to English, which must be taken in some courses and can be developed voluntarily, the university`s foreign language program offers French and Spanish as well as Chinese and Arabic on a voluntary basis if there is a sufficient number of participants. Business English Academy creates each of our courses to meet the needs of your business, we are experts in the field of negotiation courses, Meeting Work or Presentation or departmental English courses such as Computer English, Logistics English, Banking and Finance or Medical or Legal English. We believe that the path to learning Modern English is tailored to the needs of your department, which is why we design all our courses exactly to your needs to be competitive in the global marketplace. Course objective: To transmit knowledge of English legal terms as well as the basics of the Anglo-American legal system Seminar Ia American Studies, Profs Böger / Breitenwischer: The objective of foreign language training is the simulation of authentic foreign language situations. Without English, this is hardly possible in professional life today. Contact with foreign partners is part of the daily work. Therefore, English legal concepts are taught in the courses, not English law.
In particular, the courses focus on explaining German law in English using the correct English legal language. Therefore, a good knowledge of English legal terms as well as a basic understanding of the Anglo-Saxon or American legal system are essential for the lawyer or business lawyer working internationally. Call us for more information, write us an e-mail or make a personal appointment so that one of our employees can come and advise you individually. In addition, one in four people in the world is now subject to English law. To date, the Commonwealth States have followed the fundamental legal principles of English law. These differ considerably from continental legal systems. If you have any questions about German courses for international researchers, please contact Susanne Guckelsberger from the Language Centre.

From July 18 to 20, 2022, the research symposium “Re-Visions. Visual configurations in literature and culture” at the Universität Hamburg. The third annual symposium is organized in cooperation with the University of. The aim is to facilitate the use of English by course participants. The results of the written exams of the Ia seminars will be, as follows: English is the mother tongue of more than 500 million people and more than 800 million people learn English as a first foreign language. English is also the most widely spoken language in the European Union (51%). In 2014, Germany even presented a bill (Bundesrat Decision 93/14) to establish English-speaking chambers for commercial affairs. The aim is to enable the establishment of chambers for international commercial cases in regional courts, before which disputes can be conducted in English. According to the bill, the introduction of English as a judicial language will make Germany a very attractive place as a place of justice and, as a result, the time-consuming and costly translation of documents and pleadings will be eliminated.
The regional courts of Cologne, Bonn and Aachen as well as the Higher Regional Court of Cologne already offer this possibility in civil matters. From January 2018, this should also be possible at the Frankfurt Regional Court (source: LG Frankfurt press release of 02.11.2017). The Frankfurt Regional Court wants to establish itself as an international court in view of Brexit. Hamburg (from May 2018), Brussels and Paris follow suit (BBC News). The bachelor`s certificate, which students receive after the 10th term, lists all foreign language courses taken during their studies. Students can also take a “Subject Specific Foreign Language Exam” (FFP) in English, French and Spanish. At the end of their studies, students of Bucerius Law School therefore have the best prerequisites on the job market, especially if they want to pursue a career in international organizations or in the diplomatic service. Depending on the agreement and requirements, special areas of law are also offered, otherwise: Prerequisites for participation in the exam: evidence of sufficient preparation Thank you for your patience and understanding of the restrictions over the past few months and look forward to welcoming you soon (again)! Dr. Language Centre Susanne Guckelsberger Contact person for German language offers for international academics In the context of globalisation and the fact that young lawyers increasingly have to be employed internationally across national borders, additional foreign language training is more important than ever.
