Full-time form

By the beginning of the course, students should know the basic terminology in the field of jurisprudence, demonstrate fluency in practical skills of writing, speaking and listening comprehension of information in English and Ukrainian; Have the necessary minimum of extralinguistic knowledge of the legal and judiciary systems of English-speaking countries; Be able to correctly form the communicative and logical structure of sentences in the sourse language and in the target language; adequately reproduce the information of the original text by means of the target language in order to achieve pragmatic adequacy of the translation.

The program aims to teach students to adequately reproduce the specific features of the texts of modern Ukrainian-language courtroom discourse in English: familiarization of undergraduates with court records, petitions, standard agreements and scripts of debates between the conflicting parties (defence lawyer and prosecuting lawyer) (based on official sources and Internet publications) for further consecutive interpretation and/or referencing, sight translation or written translation. The goal is an in-depth study of the lexical and stylistic features of these texts. Students are taught to correctly draw up a written translation of specialized texts in full compliance with existing standards.
