================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I am with a team currently setting up in-sessional EAP support classes for
students doing Masters Degrees in Law. We are looking to devise courses to
develop Written & Spoken Legal Communication Skills, but without relying on
any one specific coursebook. As such, I would be very grateful for any
recommendations for materials & sources, and particularly for useful
websites we might be able to make use of in our courses. Websites offering
self-access work and/or information on legal communication in English for
students would also be very useful indeed. Naturally I will collate any
replies and recommendations and post them on the list here. 

Many thanks indeed, 
Nick
