Module 7
Speaking and meetings: calls, negotiations, hearings and difficult words
Speaking is the part of English that worries many lawyers most, because there is no time to look things up. The good news is that spoken legal English uses a small set of phrases again and again, and that clear speech matters far more than a perfect accent. This module gives you the phrases for calls, meetings and negotiations; the habits of a good speaker who is not a native one; some general notes on addressing a court; and the pronunciation of a few words that trip many people.
