Ricardo Jiménez presents a study on teaching legal language at the 2019 AELFE International Conference

The study was the result of cooperation between Dr Diana Giner and lawyer Pablo Franquet

The associate lecturer in the Faculty of Law at UIC Barcelona presented a paper at the 2019 International AELFE Conference. The event, which this time was held at the University of Navarra, focused on the following theme: “What some Spanish law firms do to improve written communication skills among their lawyers”. 

A professor from the University of San Jorge, Dr Diana Giner, and a partner from Fieldfisher Jausas law firm, Pablo Franquet, both took part in this research project. During the conference they explained which firms have a style guide, which have language advisors and what types of written communication courses they offer.  They also described their own teaching experience in three well-known Spanish firms and two ministries.
