Description

This handbook is a practical linguistic training resource designed to help judges and prosecutors develop English legal terminology in the field of human rights and EU law. It combines core concepts (ECHR, EU Charter, fundamental rights) with case-based exercises to strengthen understanding and communication in cross-border judicial contexts.

After using this handbook, learners should be able to:

  • Understand key human rights concepts and legal frameworks (ECHR, EU Charter of Fundamental Rights)
  • Use specialised legal English in human rights contexts
  • Analyse case-law and rights-related issues (e.g. fair trial, freedom of expression, privacy)
  • Communicate effectively in cross-border judicial cooperation on human rights matters
