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.
