Our Experience as Teachers of Ilec (Ilec Exam)
OUR EXPERIENCE TEACHING FOR THE ILEC EXAM:
We are Mauricio Muñoz (a teacher) and Adela Pérez del Viso (a lawyer and trainee teacher), the two Legal English teachers at the Colegio de Abogados de San Luis, the San Luis (Argentina) Bar Association.
My idea of teaching Legal English started in 1998 when I took a course at an Academy (located on Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, U.K.). My teacher was, by then, Mr. Brian Catlow. The organizers made us visit different courtrooms in Cambridge and in London. It was fascinating.
Afterwards, I got to know about the ILEC exam, which was a huge academic improvement: now we had a purpose for these studies, a method, a set of contents, a book (and now more than a book), etc. I sat for the Ilec exam in 2009, after two complete years of hard study.
Now we organize these courses at the Bar Association, and we know that only some students will come and stay: those who have a very good command of the language, and at the same time those who are keen on the legal field.
During this year we organized two “modules”: the first one, based on General Principles and Contracts. (with all the units related to Contracts); the second module, devoted to Company Law (3 units) plus Labour/Employment Law.
The decision to divide the whole course in 3 or 4 modules have allowed us to set some goals which seem to be not so far in time; at the same time, it allows other students (who have not started with the original group) to join us, for instance, at the 2nd module.
We organize every class with the material presented by the Ilec book, along with videos taken from the internet, movies, trailers (in this sense, John Grisham´s books, movies and trailers are quite good), some University classes that can be retrieved from the internet (for instance, some classes from American universities, related to Contracts), etc. Only when time presses, we work on the ILEC book alone, which is quite complete.
Next year we are planning to

    The 1800’s legal education and licensing requirements pales in comparison when pitted against today’s academic and accrediting process for lawyers. Today’s curriculum demands more from the students. Scott Turow stated that his first year of law school left him mentally and physically exhausted (Neubauer & Meinhold, 2013). In sharp contrast, Abraham Lincoln believed that one could join the legal world by simply reading a few selected books. However, today anyone can become a lawyer as long as they meet the minimum requirement such as graduate from college, pass the LSAT and apply to law school (Neubauer & Meinhold, 2013). In contrast only the social elite were allowed to become lawyers in the 1800’s. Nevertheless both time periods offered night…

    Modularized instructional format. Modularization requires that the curriculum be divided into modules, or areas of specific content coverage, to allow for acceleration through the developmental math sequence. Students are placed into modules based on placement scores or other competency programs, and are given a set of modules to complete prior to a college level course. There are generally up to eight or nine total modules that students may have to take, depending on their intended major, each with a specific outline of learning outcomes, competencies and timeline of completion. Each student takes a test to prove mastery of the content before they can continue to the next module. Courses…
