Students will explore differences in writing for common law/versus civil law trained environments, will learn the parts of a legal memorandum, will practice the basic "IRAC" technique of legal writing, will study and practice logical organization in legal writing, and will improve sentence and paragraph structure in their legal writing. The course stresses the logic of legal writing and development of legal thinking.

🎉Exciting News! We are thrilled to unveil the launch of our new series about Legal Contronyms.
A contronym is a word that has two meanings, but those meanings are opposites of each other. Over the next few weeks, we will show you one example each week of a legal contronym.
This week, let’s examine the word “SANCTION.”
- Sanction: to approve; to ban
This is a great example of a legal contronym for Russia today. Russia is under lots of economic sanctions from various countries. Unfortunately, these economic sanctions are not approvals! This is an example of the second, and maybe more known definition of sanction. Many U.S. states now sanction the use of medical marijuana, allowing patients to access it legally subject to health and safety regulations; however, in Russia, marijuana use is still sanctioned with high fines and potential jail time for large scale possession.
For further information follow our news, take care!

🔊 We continue our Series on Legal Contronyms with "RENT".
Rent: to purchase the use of something; to sell the use of something.
This legal contronym is different from others because the meaning is only opposite because it is viewer relative. That means that the only difference between the meanings of the word is whether you are the renter, the person selling the use of something, or the rentee, the person purchasing the use of something, does the meaning change. If you do not own the apartment in which you live, the landlord is renting that space to you, or selling the use of the apartment to you, while at the same time, you are renting that space, or purchasing the use of the apartment.

This week, let’s discuss the word “lease.”
Lease: to offer property for rent; to hold such a rented property.
Much like our word, rent, lease is a contronym that is viewer-centric. If you are a lender, or lessor, then you are offering property for rent. However, if you are a lessee, you are renting a property from another.

We chose Sergey Gurin as our student of the month for his amazing perseverance, hard work, and ultimate amazing success! When Sergey first started in Pericles LL.M. program, in Fall 2012, he was really challenged by the English level and difficulty of the courses.
His first semester grades were awful, so Professor Dent and Professor Mendelssohn actually advised him that he was unlikely to succeed and encouraged him to drop the program.
But Sergey didn't believe that he couldn't master it. He took a step back and took several years to improve his English, figuring out how American law school programs worked, and then rejoining the LL.M. program in summer 2021, getting an A- in Legal Writing just for starters. Since then he has been building on that success with consistent high grades, until this fall, in International Asset Recovery, he got the top grade in the class! What an amazing improvement, Sergey, and we are so glad you proved our professors wrong!

Is it "me"?
I was shocked to hear from my students yesterday that a law school near my home in Moscow was closed for live classes the next few weeks due to an attack of missiles! (ракеты) Coming so soon after the Crocus attack, I was really panicked.
Only after a few moments of very confused discussion (OMG, was anyone killed? Was the building destroyed? etc.) did I find out they had mispronounced "measles." (корь) The school was quarantined due to some students with attacks--ie, an "outbreak"--of measles.
To pronounce "mi" your mouth is rounded. To change it to "me" you must widen the sides of your mouth almost into a smile.
Maybe the reason Americans are known to smile a lot is that they are thinking of "me"!😃
Take Pericles' Approaching Legal English course this summer, and learn to avoid pronunciation mistakes that could cause panic!
