Why do you need to take this course?
When dealing with legal terminology it is very important to properly understand the meaning of the words when used in different legal systems. Even in the same language, many terms have different meanings in different countries. It is no wonder that difficulties arise when we try to translate legal terms into other languages. A solid grounding in the UK legal terminology will make finding adequate equivalents in other languages and legal systems easier, whether in interpreting or translating.
