Specialist courses for legal German
Whether you’re working in a law firm with German-speaking clients, work within the legal department of a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, or are studying law and would like to complete part of your studies in Germany.
At the Österreich Institut, we’ll support you on your way to professional success. Our individualised specialist language courses are designed to give you the best possible preparation for pursuing your legal career or law degree in a German-speaking country.
Our focus: Practical application
Our main goal is to equip you with all the language skills you need to confidently navigate your work environment – day after day. That’s why we firmly focus on using learning materials and teaching methods relevant for practising law throughout the duration of this course – from studying authentic legal texts to case discussions and simulating typical situations that arise in a work setting. Amongst other things, the core contents of the course programme includes:
- Understanding legal texts (e.g. court rulings, legislations)
- Writing pleadings
- Writing short essays on select legal issues
- Interpreting and discussing laws
- Summarising court rulings (verbal and written)
- Discussing cases and legal problems
- Important aspects of the German and Austrian legal system (e.g. structures of public authorities, available legal resources)
This list is only an exemplary overview of what our extensive programme entails – our highly experienced language experts will individually tailor each course to the individual requirements of all participants.
