***
От себя добавлю. Курс безусловно хорош. Возможно, для практикующих юристов он менее интересен, т.к. предполагает скорее академические знания. Иногда тексты слишком широкого, общего характера, немного оторваны от реальности. Но в целом, курс предлагает много текстов, упражнения на слушание, говорение, немного грамматику, письмо. Я бы назвала эту книгу полноценным учебником. Если перед вами студент-юрист - это прекрасный курс. Его только нужно расширить грамматикой. И, возможно, разговорными оборотами из общего или бизнес английского.
Также есть книга для учителя, что радует и облегчает работу.

В принципе, неплохо. Есть лучше. Но эту книгу можно рассматривать как энциклопедию. Автор попытался охватить все аспекты. Потому узкому специалисту попадется много лишнего. Кто готов это выдержать - те с удовольствием полистают. Упражнения практически бесполезны. Но текста содержать основную профессиональную лексику. Их почитать будет полезно. Скорее подходит для самостоятельно работы. чем для работы в классе.

Моя рецензия

Книга неплоха для своего сектора. Из всего, что я видела - это самый достойный вариант. Рассчитана на серьезный уровень языка. Так что подойдет ученикам от Intermediate и выше. Основной упор на профессиональную лексику. Радует аудио. Тексты бывают сложноваты, что тоже радует. Немного касается грамматики и речевых оборотов. Есть задания для ролевых игр.

В целом, заниматься только по этой книге будет скучно и однобоко. Но она является прекрасным дополнением к основной программе.
