Why is this investment essential for your career?
Legal English is not simply a matter of translating words; it is a way of thinking. This programme is designed to bridge the gap faced specifically by Arab students and lawyers.
Designed for Our Students and Lawyers
Unlike generic Western programmes, we start from your own concepts (Sharia, civil law, courts of cassation) and teach you how to explain and draft them in English for the foreign investor.
Practical Skills for Trainees
You won't just memorise word lists. You will learn how to interview a client, how to draft a confidentiality clause, and how to explain the legal position in a commercial dispute, making you ready for the labour market.
Confidence on the International Stage
Invest in your ability to handle international contracts and foreign clients without hesitation. Confidence comes from understanding the fine distinctions between terms (such as Shall vs May).

Your Transformation Journey in 12 Stages
The curriculum is built cumulatively, taking you from basic concepts to complex applications.
Foundation Stage and Understanding the System
Laying the solid groundwork. We learn the difference between law and ethics, the major division (public/private), the types of law (substantive/procedural), and the sources of legislation in our countries.
State Structures and Legal Persons
Understanding the players in the legal arena. How do the three branches of government work? What is the difference between a natural and a legal person? And who has the capacity to sign?
Rights and Property
The heart of legal work. Classifying rights (real and personal) and property (movable and immovable), and how to describe them precisely in contracts.
The Court and Professional Practice
Disputes in practice. The court hierarchy, rules of evidence and testimony, and professional ethics (conflicts of interest and good faith).
