The course may only be attended by those law students who have already satisfactorily completed at least two but ideally all four level 3 law courses with good grades.

If you have any questions regarding the content or the requirements - in particular if you have moved to Erlangen from another university or have had courses recognised from a period of study abroad, please contact us via Email: rechtswissenschaft@jurasprachen.de

COMBINATION WITH OTHER ENGLISH COURSES
You may attend this course and additional level 3 law courses and / or general English courses in the same semester. It is generally not permitted to take all level 4 law courses in the same semester, and a decision on admission to more than one course in the same semester will be taken in individual cases taking into account all relevant circumstances.

REGISTRATION
Registration is obligatory for this course (by 30th October 2020 at the latest) online via StudOn

ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance and active participation are required in order to successfully complete this course, therefore attendance is compulsory in accordance with the university guidelines which are relevant in determining admissibility to the exam. Please be aware that not all materials relevant for the exam will necessarily be posted on StudOn and that participants are responsible for making sure that they catch up on any missed classes and acquire any additional materials.

ASSESSMENT
Assessment for this course is by way of a written exam and contribution towards a legal academic article. Your tutor will provide you with details of the exam and any other assessment requirements in the first week of the course. Registration for the exam via mein campus is necessary (registration period: Monday, 30.11.2020 (0.01 Uhr) - Sunday, 13.12.2020 (12.00 Uhr)). The exam number is 30159.

REPEATING THE COURSE
We expect to offer this course again in the summer semester 2021. Students who fail the exam and wish to retake it may do so at the end of the next semester without having to retake the whole course, providing they obtain the grade 4,7. Students who fail with the grade 5,0 must retake the whole course before being allowed to attempt the exam again.

Contents
This course focuses primarily on written work in legal and formal contexts. You will be expected to be able to use the general English and the legal lexis which you acquired in your earlier Level 2 and Level 3 courses in order to express yourself in writing more confidently and more fluently in legal and formal situations. This will include practice-orientated tasks such as writing legal correspondence, drafting legal documents for a case and writing case summaries. Students will also work on an academic article (in groups).

Recommended literature
All materials will be provided online (via StudOn) or in class.
