Abstract
This article discusses the four fundamental skills that are essential for non-native English speaker law graduates who seek to work for international law firms where English is the language of everyday business. These skills include: (1) language proficiency level; (2) reading, summarizing and writing skills; (3) Plain English; and (4) Legal English. The article also looks at certain problems that law students typically encounter while learning English and recommends exercises for practicing some of the abovementioned skills and rectifying such problems.
