CILEX Education (Verlag)
978-1-911713-36-4 (ISBN)
Applied Legal Skills is part of CILEX’s exciting new
Explorer series. After an introductory chapter, Part 1 of the book focuses on
legal study skills. Topics covered in this Part include academic study skills,
legal research and legal writing skills, essay writing, answering problem
questions and multiple-choice questions. We are particularly excited by our
chapter on mooting and courtroom etiquette.
Part 2 of the book deals with practical professional skills.
Topics covered in this Part include employability in the legal professions,
personal impact, presentation skills, teamwork and group projects, legal
ethics, commercial awareness and negotiation skills. Client relationships and
communication with clients are also examined, together with workplace
technology, accounting and networking.
The final innovative chapter covers bilingual (English and
Welsh) legal skills and employability opportunities.
The textbook is supported by a wealth of podcasts and
videos, including contributions from practising solicitors and barristers and
professional actors, as well as additional multiple-choice questions.
This textbook will be particularly valuable for university
students studying Legal Skills in both England and Wales. It will also be a
valuable resource for staff in legal teams who wish to develop their
underpinning knowledge and practical professional legal skills further.
