Summary/Abstract: Outstanding students with a vast vocabulary and a good level of grammar may find themselves in difficulty in front of a legal English text. On the other hand, teaching legal English requires knowledge of the legal system and terminology which may be a real challenge for an English teacher. The present paper highlights the main characteristics of the legal English texts such as structure, punctuation, the use of foreign phrases, older words and modifiers, as well as phrasal verbs. Moreover, the paper describes a number of teaching activities particularly designed for legal English teaching to economic sciences students.
