This task is even more difficult in the case of English for Legal Purposes (ELP) a branch of ESP that requires highly specialized knowledge in the field of law.

This article focuses on the difficulties the ELP teacher faces in the process of course design and refers to some good-practice examples that can be followed in teaching Legal English.
