2026-The ILETA year in review! The story thus far

Some of the best professional development doesn’t happen in a lecture—it happens in a conversation.

That is exactly what the ILETA Monthly MeetUps are all about.

Each month, Legal English professionals from around the world come together to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, share practical solutions, and learn from one another in a friendly and supportive environment.

Together, we have explored topics such as:

·      Challenges Teaching Legal English using Common Law materials for Civil Law learners

·      Using Emotional Intelligence To Engage Non- Communicative Students

·      Re-Thinking Critical Thinking In The Legal English Classroom

·      Mindfulness Techniques To Reduce Stress, Improve Concentration, And Reset Between Tasks

·      Pitfalls in legal translation: What translators and lawyers need to know: contract terminology, hidden traps, and practical solutions for translators

·      The language of Legal English: archaisms, doublets, triplets, Latin expressions, and why they still matter today

·      And, of course, our annual ILETA Summer Party, celebrating friendships, collaboration, and another successful year for our international community.

Every ILETA MeetUp is different, but they all have one thing in common: they are interactive, practical, and driven by the experience and expertise of our ILETA members.

Whether you are a Legal English trainer, lawyer, translator, interpreter, researcher, or simply passionate about the language of law, the ILETA Monthly MeetUps provide a welcoming space to learn, exchange ideas, and build lasting professional connections.

Thank you to everyone who has presented, participated, and contributed to making the ILETA MeetUps such a valuable part of our community.

We can’t wait to see what we’ll learn together next.
