Legal Maritime English Advanced

After building your foundation in Legal Maritime English, this course invites you to step into deeper waters.

Here, you’ll examine how maritime law has developed through centuries of navigation, commerce, and international cooperation – and how English became the vessel for expressing its principles, precedents, and debates.

You’ll learn to navigate advanced legal discourse: drafting and interpreting complex clauses, analysing maritime case law, and engaging in professional argumentation. Through authentic materials and interactive tasks, you’ll gain insight into treaties, conventions, arbitration procedures, and the language of modern maritime institutions.

Each unit blends advanced linguistic precision with legal reasoning, showing you how to communicate clearly and persuasively in contexts ranging from contract negotiation and charter parties to marine insurance, liability, and international litigation.

By the end of this course, you will:

• Confidently interpret and produce sophisticated legal maritime texts and arguments.
• Use advanced legal vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and rhetorical devices accurately.
• Analyse case studies and conventions with a clear understanding of structure, logic, and tone.
• Communicate professionally in both written and spoken forms across legal and academic environments.

Please note, this is a specialised English language course designed to advance your Legal Maritime English proficiency while strengthening your understanding of the evolution and practice of maritime law.
