Description

When you preside over an administrative hearing, counsel assumes you know the meaning of the legal terminology they use. Locating the word in a legal dictionary may not help because those definitions often consist of other legal terms unfamiliar to you. This class will define and explain the legal terms that might arise in an administrative hearing. A digital glossary will be provided as well as recommendations for inexpensive, pocket-sized legal dictionaries for non-lawyers. The class will also offer tips on proper word choice in order to structure sentences understandably using strong, persuasive but easily understood terms.
