Active Vocabulary Core subjects – основные, профилирующие предметы Optional courses – курсы по выбору Sole practitioner – индивидуальный предприниматель; юрист, работающий сам на себя Litigation and arbitration – судебные и арбитражные разбирательства It usually takes three years to complete law degree programmes in the UK. These programmes typically include core subjects such as criminal law, constitutional law, administrative law, contract law, tort law, land law, etc. In addition, students are often required to take courses covering skills such as legal writing and legal research. There are also optional (elective) courses available. Since many law students are going to become lawyers, they often choose courses that will be useful in their future career. Some students who want to run a small partnership or to work alone as a sole practitioner in a small town may decide to take family law or employment law as their major. Those who are planning to work in a large law firm will consider subjects such as company law, commercial law and litigation and arbitration. Many universities also offer courses on legal practice. Courses like these give students opportunity to experience the work of a lawyer before deciding on career in law. Another way of finding out more about law in practice is to get involved with a voluntary advice centre or a law clinic. These clinics offer free legal assistance to the local community and provide a useful introduction to the day-to-day work of a lawyer. For students who wish to work in a commercial practice, knowledge of foreign languages is essential. When law firms hire recruits, they generally look at four things: education, personality, work experience and language ability. Since English is the language of the international legal community, law firms increasingly expect graduates to have a good command of English. 5.Определите, справедливы ли данные высказывания или нет.
