Diploma in Legal English Communication - oratory, writing, listening and accuracy

Introduction

English is the weak link in many lawyers' careers. You can’t make it to a good law firm unless you have strong English communication, both in speaking and writing. You are likely to be judged by clients, peers, employers and judges harshly if you do not have good English communication. In High Courts or Supreme Court, it is impossible to do well unless you are really good with your English communication.

Substantive skills often come after your language skill, and not having good English communication is almost surely going to block your way from having a great legal career. 

On the other hand, good English communication skills will open doors for you that are otherwise not available. 

I am sure we need not convince those of you who are struggling with English proficiency as to why you must learn it. 

We bring to you the most advanced course for lawyers to learn English - speaking, writing and communicating effectively and accurately, at a professional level. 

If you buy an annual subscription, you only pay INR 50,000. Inclusive of taxes. Please note that we expect to increase the price to around 1 lakh per year in the future, as we can serve only a small class size given the way the course is designed. 

Hard copy material will be provided to those who enrol for an annual subscription free of cost. An interest-free financing option from Bajaj Finance is available to pay in easy instalments. Get in touch with our team to discuss this further.

LawSikho 30-45 days refund policy applies to this course. 

Please note that while we are using legal material to teach this course as the legal context is useful for you, we are teaching no law here. And please do not expect the teachers to teach you any law in this course.

Can I get remote freelance work after doing this course?

At LawSikho, we have two types of students: those who already possess good legal skills and those who are in the process of learning. We believe in enabling our learners to start earning from their knowledge without delay.
For students with professional-level legal skills, we offer opportunities in contract drafting, data & privacy, international business law, US immigration law, litigation support, and international IP law work, etc.

However, we understand that acquiring professional-level skills takes time. For those who are still developing their legal skills, we provide alternative work opportunities such as writing articles, conducting research, legal transcription, data entry, law firm administration, social media management, and more. Some students even engage in tasks like voice-over work, data compilation, translation, and virtual assistance.

We have established a dedicated team that actively pitches to organizations in the US to help LawSikho students find remote work.

We have set up a US entity to bridge the trust gap between US legal professionals and an organization operating from India.

We focus on getting learners their first three clients, guiding them in crafting impressive proposals. By the time they secure these initial clients, learners become well-adjusted to the process and can independently attract more clients.

They build their CVs and profiles with real work experience and testimonials, opening doors to numerous opportunities.

Getting started is often the hardest part, but at LawSikho, we make the process frictionless. We have witnessed law students earning well over $1000 per month.

Some students have earned $500 in their first month as a side gig. We have students who, after a year, now earn $10,000 per month. While some may start with $300, they make progress by learning new skills, improving their profiles, and pitching for higher-paying work.

Between April 2021 and June 2023, we created over 21000+ opportunities for our learners, resulting in thousands of students securing freelance work. The total value of work secured amounts to over $3,30,000 (Aprox INR 2.7 Crore). Additionally, hundreds of individuals found employment, and secured internships.

Please note that these numbers represent the initial gigs facilitated directly by us or those on which we actively collaborated with the learners. Students have also secured additional work beyond our tracking.

How will you clear my doubts and help me if I am struggling to understand or learn a concept?

• In our live classes, you can ask questions, share your screen, receive personal feedback, and have your doubts cleared.
• If you need more help after getting feedback on an assignment or want career advice, you can schedule a private one-on-one call. Our evaluators and mentors are here to assist you and give you advice that's tailored to your needs.
