“This cooperation is historic in that it brings together the expertise of
an over 400 year-old institution with a prestigious American university and
an entrepreneurial, web-based provider of language training in Stockholm,”
says Michael Lindner, President of TransLegal.

The Program for Legal English Academic Development (PLEAD) is a training
course for lawyers and law students who wish to improve their Legal English.
PLEAD is a “blended learning” course comprising an online course and the
world’s best-selling Legal English coursebook, International Legal English,
written by TransLegal and published by Cambridge University Press.

“From Asia to Europe to South America, over two million lawyers are
increasingly facing the challenge of drafting legal documents, negotiating
and practicing law in a foreign language - English,” continues Michael
Lindner.

The PLEAD course contains preparation materials for the Cambridge
International Legal English Certificate (ILEC)
(www.legalenglishtest.org), the world’s only
internationally-recognised test of Legal English.

On the market only a few months, the course is already being used by bar
associations in Sweden, France and Italy as well as law firms around the
world.
