Following a week dedicated to mock trials, Week 6 of the DROP IN programme brings new and topical issues from legal practice, along with ethical dilemmas. We will discuss proving psychological harm, liability of business owners and local authorities for their customers’ conduct, the European Arrest Warrant, and the right to privacy in the digital environment. We will also explore expert witness credibility and school shootings.

Through discussions in English, participants will develop their legal vocabulary, strengthen their argumentation skills, and practise expressing their views. A new week, six new topics, and another opportunity to use Legal English to discuss real-world legal challenges.

Legal professionals, it’s time to join the discussion!

If you have been planning to try DROP IN, now is the time, as the programme ends on 14 December 2026.

Want to use all five sessions without rushing or stressing at the last minute? Join the discussion, sharpen your arguments, and take the opportunity to improve your Legal English through topical legal issues!

From 19 to 23 October 2026, we are dedicating a special week to Mock Trials – practical English-language training through situations that mirror real-life professional contexts. View the Mock Trial Week topics, schedule, and all other details by clicking HERE.

Join us by purchasing one or more Mock Trial Week sessions. You can book your sessions immediately after purchase using the schedule that opens automatically, or later via the Schedule link in your purchase confirmation email.

With your Mock Trial Week package, you will also receive an additional email with a link to access the Courtroom English Manual – a practical language resource featuring useful expressions and phrases that you can review before the session and use during the discussion.

You do not have to be a legal professional to join us. The sessions are open not only to judges, legal associates, practitioners and trainees, but also to professionals from other fields, such as social workers, expert witnesses and other participants in judicial proceedings, who need English in their professional environment.

The minimum recommended level of English is B1 (Intermediate Level). You can find out more about the CEFR levels of English proficiency here.

You do not need to speak perfect English. You just need to start using it.

The aim of Mock Trial Week is not to test how perfectly you speak English or expect you to express everything without mistakes. On the contrary, the idea is to create a safe professional environment where you can speak, try, make mistakes, find better ways of expressing yourself and gradually become more confident communicating in English.

The cases will not be unnecessarily complex or require extensive preparation in advance. They will be based on case law from other countries and will start from clear, concrete situations presented briefly and in an accessible way, while leaving enough room to examine and discuss them from different legal, professional and practical perspectives. Topics will cover different areas of law – from criminal and civil law, through administrative law, to issues of judicial cooperation.

Through the Mock Trials, you will work on argumentation, professional vocabulary, and expressing your opinions clearly and precisely in English. Throughout the sessions, you will be supported by an experienced teacher specialising in this field – you can read more about her here.

Prepare in advance – but without the pressure.

Short case summaries are available HERE. This will give you plenty of time to familiarise yourself with each case, think about possible arguments and prepare for the discussion at your own pace.

Each session is limited to a maximum of six participants, ensuring that everyone has enough space to speak, argue their position and participate actively. All you need to participate is a stable internet connection. Your camera and microphone must remain on throughout the session to make the discussion as active and interactive as possible.

Join us and take your English to the next level through situations that are much closer to real professional life than a traditional classroom!

The fifth week of Legal English Drop-In classes features six topical legal issues that provide a platform for informed debate on the challenges facing modern justice systems and the business world. We will discuss the role of in-house counsel as a business partner or corporate gatekeeper, the assessment of evidence in court proceedings, and how authorities should respond when a child goes missing. We will also explore criminal liability for cyberbullying, the influence of public opinion on judicial independence, and employers’ liability for psychological harm caused by workplace stress.

Through practical discussions in English, participants will analyse legal dilemmas, weigh competing arguments, and develop greater precision in expressing their views. Should in-house counsel have a seat at the boardroom table? To what extent can a judge’s personal experience influence the assessment of evidence, and where does workplace stress end and legally actionable harm begin? From child protection and liability for harmful online content to the relationship between the judiciary and the public, each session offers an opportunity to deepen legal knowledge and improve professional English skills.

This week, in our Drop In for Legal English lessons, we once again create space to discuss real legal issues – issues that call for debate, the exchange of views and well-reasoned arguments. Through discussions on current and thought-provoking legal topics, you will practise how to express your views and arguments clearly, respond to different opinions and use precise legal terminology in situations that reflect communication in real professional environments.

This week’s topics explore the connections between law and trust, responsibility, equality and the protection of individuals – from legal certainty and witness reliability to the position of vulnerable citizens, mental health and criminal responsibility, contracts of adhesion, and barriers to equal advancement in the workplace.

What actually makes a witness reliable? How far should the protection of vulnerable people extend? When should mental illness affect criminal responsibility? Is an agreement truly the result of free will when there is no room for negotiation? And how can the existence of a “glass ceiling” be proven in court?

Come with an opinion. Leave with new perspectives, stronger communication skills and greater confidence in expressing yourself.
