INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ENGLISH CERTIFICATE

An essential tool for any lawyer working with international matters.

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.
