The solicitor David Hutchins (website) is giving a one-day seminar on English law for legal translators on Monday 14 March in London. He’s spoken to translators before and been well received, I gather. Here is the blurb:

One-Day Course / Workshop: LONDON: MONDAY 14th MARCH, 2011: English Law for Legal Translators
Key Terminology and Concepts in Common Law: Contract & Civil Liability

The venue will be St Giles Hotel, Bedford Avenue, London WC1B 3GH, UK, Tel.: +(44)0 20 7300 3000. Bedford Avenue is off Tottenham Court Road close to Tottenham Court Road tube station.
