Inhalt:

This course will look at the way the law is portrayed through the media (film, television, radio, print media and the Internet, fact and fiction), how social media affects the law - positivela and negatively, and what role the media plays in the administration of justice.
The language focus in the course will be on oral communication, in particular in-depth discussion. Using a variety of (audio and visual) sources, students will be expected to discuss and critically analyse the way the media conveys information about the law and how this can be perceived by viewers, readers and listeners. Students will lead and take part in discussions relating to specific aspects of media coverage, and also on criminal and civil cases that have been reported on or dramatised. In small groups students will also produce a short podcast which will be published online.

The aim of the course is to improve the oral fluency of the participants’ English with regard to higher register language and to instill them with a great deal more confidence with regard to presenting legal issues in English. The course will build upon the lexis and substantive law attained in the level 3 (JUR) specialised courses and should ideally be taken after the level 4 (JUR) course ‘Legal Writing and Drafting’.
Assessment will be based upon a number of compulsory presentations and the final moot court hearings.

Inhalt:

This course will help students to improve their English language skills in various fields of the law by confronting them with situations in which they will be required to switch effectively and quickly between German and English.

In the context of written texts, students will be expected to translate legal documents from and, in particular, into English. In addition to this, students will undertake interpreting exercises in which they will be expected to act as a linguistic mediator between a German-speaking party and an English-speaking party. The aim of the course is thus to practise the vocabulary acquired in the level 2 and level 3 courses in a situation where time is of the essence.
