This week's video and podcast tells the story about a 'devil court'. Available at www.studylegalenglish.com/episode83 😈

The video features a really nice article written by Iryna Ilyashevych from Login:Lublin . This is a helpful website for international people in Lublin and for fun facts and stories about the city. You can find the article here: https://loginlublin.pl/legends-of-lublin-the-legend-of-th…/… 🤓⚡️ A good exercise to practise your Legal English is: 👉Step 1: Listen to the episode and see how much you understand 👉Step 2: Read the article and look up any words you don't understand 👉Step 3: Listen again whilst reading the article 😀🎧🎬 Good luck! 🙌

😎Hi listeners! Just a quick update about small talk. A few weeks ago I co-presented on this topic with the brilliant Natasha Costello at the EULETA workshop 2019. I'll be posting some content on the Study Legal English website soon but in the meantime if you're interested in this topic you can check out some podcast episodes in the Networking for lawyers' section. 🤔 Question for you - how and when do you use small talk? Can you think of some small talk questions?
Thank you and have a great weekend! 😃

In an online Legal English class this morning with one of my students, we discussed an article about arbitration from:

https://www.internationallawoffice.com.
I really like this website, it's great for finding articles on a range of legal topics across many jurisdictions and great for teaching and learning Legal English vocabulary. I recommend checking it out!
Some words from today's article: 📖To uphold - confirm or support 📖 To dismiss - to reject 📖 Arbitration seat - the jurisdiction which governs the arbitration and which determines which national court may intervene during the arbitration 📖 Vexatious proceedings - Proceedings brought in order to annoy the other party and which have no reasonable prospect of success
