Spanish for Legal Professionals & Students
CUNY School of Continuing Education

Mar 13 - Apr 24, 2006
No class April 3
One of the greatest challenges for legal professionals in New York is the need to communicate in Spanish with peoples from many different countries, each of which has its own legal terminology in Spanish. For example, if you want to discuss an "eviction notice" in New York, it is customary for a native speaker of Spanish raised in New York to refer to it in English, whereas an immigrant from, say, Argentina would refer to it in Spanish as "un orden de desalojo." Therefore, one goal of this course is to practice communicating legal concepts using common language in addition to legal terminology.
Taught in Spanish, the class will cover a broad mix of practical legal terminology, vocabulary and conversational skills. In addition we will touch on how to incorporate legal terms and processes that are best communicated in English (because of the country to country differences) rather than in Spanish.

Enormous cultural and language variations exist even among countries that share a national language. In much of Latin America, for example, "constipado" means constipated, while in Spain it indicates a chest cold. Such regional variations pose a considerable challenge to healthcare professionals in particular.
This course, taught in Spanish, is designed especially for doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals; it will cover a broad range of practical medical terminology and vocabulary and will examine cultural and language differences that health professionals are likely to encounter in their interactions with patients from different countries in Latin America.

Starting Date TBD
This non-credit course is especially designed for persons working in the legal professions. Taught in Spanish, the class will cover a broad mix of practical legal terminology, vocabulary and conversational skills. One primary goal of the course is to practice communicating legal concepts using common language in addition to legal terminology. In addition we will touch on how to incorporate legal terms and processes that are best communicated in English (because of the country to country differences) rather than in Spanish.
Registration is on a strict first-come, first-serve basis. Enrollment preference will be given to CUNY Law students.
Payment is due upon registration and is NON-REFUNDABLE. An enrollment of fewer than 10 students will lead to an increase in the cost of enrollment. Should the cost increase, registrants will be notified and given an option to receive a full reimbursement.
Spaces in the program will be guaranteed upon payment to CLRN.
