Employers need to know that the legal staff they appoint have a sufficient level of English to be able to communicate with clients and professionals in other countries, and to handle information written in English. At the same time, law students and newly-qualified lawyers need to be able to show employers and academic legal community that they have these skills. The new Cambridge International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) was created to meet these needs.

WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ENGLISH CERTIFICATE?

• an advanced examination (set at levels B2 and C1 of the Common European Framework) which assesses language skills in a legal context.
• a Cambridge ESOL examination, produced and assessed in collaboration with TransLegal, Europe's leading firm of lawyer-linguists.
• recognised by leading associations of lawyers including the European Company Lawyers Association, the European Law Students Association, the International Association of Young Lawyers, and the European Young Bar Association.

WHY TAKE THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ENGLISH CERTIFICATE?
The ILEC is for law students or practicing lawyers who are:

• seeking employment in an international commercial law context,
• intending to study law where the course includes a significant English language content, either in their own country or abroad,
• seeking promotion within their own organisations,
• learning English as part of a training programme
