ILEC is produced and assessed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, in collaboration with Translegal – Europe’s leading firm of lawyer-linguists. It is 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.
ILEC is an examination set at levels B2 (Vantage) and C1 (Effective operational proficiency) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Examinations at the C1 level may be used as proof of the level of language necessary to work in an international legal context or to follow a course of legal study at university level.
The four ILEC papers are assessed on a scale of 200 (50 marks for each paper). Candidates´ total score is based on their performance in all four papers. Candidates can compensate their poor performance in one part by performing well in the other components.
Results are reported in three passing grades: C1 Pass with Merit, C1 Pass and B2 Pass
and two failing grades: Narrow Fail and Fail

Candidates who achieve passing grades will receive an internationally recognized certificate issued by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.
