David Hutchins, of Lexacom English Law Courses, is running a two-day course on Contract law & civil liability, the English legal system, and Company law terminology from 22-23 November 2013.
The course is aimed at legal translators and interpreters but is suitable also for civil code lawyers provided they have the requisiite level of English.

Arie de Vois – Portrait of a Notary
Europe denounces the monopoly of notaries, as well as the condition of access to the profession, both of which are considered not competitive. Moves were already under discussion in the drafting of Directive 2006/123/EC on services in the internal market, but had been shelved.

The ImPLI (Improving Police and Legal Interpreting) project has made available 10 fact sheets describing the legal systems of Germany, Scotland, France, Italy and the Czech Republic.
The fact sheets are succinct and provide a good overview for reference. They can be downloaded from the project’s webpage.
