Summary/Abstract: Evaluation & assessment by project work with English for Legal Purposes. Breaking with conventions, I have included in the category of projects such works as: Long Essay/Mini-research paper, Poster, proper Project on legal subjects, all accompanied by Oral Presentations using or not PowerPoint. This paper points out that evaluation/assessment by project proves to be complex, relevant, agreeable, creative and competitive. While preparing their projects, the students had the opportunity to read a large amount of authentic legal texts, thus acquiring legal vocabulary in English. They practised and developed their oral communication skills by delivering presentations. Project evaluation integrated successfully language skills and specialized legal knowledge. Timing and methods of evaluation proved to be significant for both students and the professor.
