LANGUAGE SKILLS FOR LAWYERS COURSE (BETWEEN SESSION COURSE)

The language skills course will be run again over the session break for those of you interested in using this time to improve your writing skills. This course is only open to students who have completed the Legal Institutions course.

Students are invited to attend the initial lecture on Saturday 24 September from 12 noon to 4pm, in Carslaw Lecture Theatre 173 (CLT 173) on the University’s main campus. If you intend to attend, please complete and return to us the Expression of Interest Form by 4 pm, Monday 19 September.

The course consists of an initial lecture in which you will learn and practise essential grammatical skills. Written exercises based on sentence and paragraph work will be developed in the lectures. No legal research is required.These exercises will be marked in detail, correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation and any problems with the logical progression of your argument.

There is then a final class on Saturday 12 November.

Please note that the course is not designed to teach English as a second language, but to assist you to write clearly, grammatically, and with precision.

If you are interested in attending and would like to do some initial reading, I recommend you look at either:

Perfect Grammar, by Dr Derek Soles, ISBN: 978-1-84285-136-4
or Grammar Guide, by Gordon Jarvie, 2nd edition, ISBN: 978-0-7136-8187-1

Both of these are usually available from Abbey's Bookshop and the University Co-op Bookshop.

Two other books that you may find useful are:

Graham King, Collins Improve your Grammar, Harper Collins, 2009, ISBN: 9780007288083
Graham King, Collins Improve your Punctuation, Harper Collins, 2009, ISBN: 9780007288069

Dymocks appears to have stock of these at present, but they can also be obtained through the Co-op Bookshop.
