Resources for Multilingual Law Students

Core Grammar for Lawyers - An online, self-directed learning tool designed to help law students develop the grammar and punctuation skills that are prerequisites to successful legal writing. Limited seats available. Please contact lawreference@seattleu.edu for access.

Law School Study and Preparation - The law library provides a range of print and online resources to support students in their preparation for and success in law school. Whether you are looking for information on the law school experience, exam preparation, or well-being, the law library has you covered.

Multilingual Law Student Collection - The Multilingual Law Student Collection was started at the request of law students who learned English as a second or third language or who grew up outside the U.S. legal system. The collection includes material about U.S. legal analysis and writing, law school study, U.S. legal history, dictionaries, and works about "legal English," the sentence construction, words, and phrases used in domestic law practice. Find specific titles in the law library catalog. The collection is on the 2nd floor of the law library in the Reserve area.

Study Aids - Study aids are created by publishers to reinforce and enhance your understanding of legal concepts in your law classes. The library has study aids in print and online. They are not a substitute for reading cases and attending class.

English Language Learning Center - ELLC’s mission is to support all SU students who are multilingual speakers and for whom English might not be their first/primary language by providing them with a vibrant learning environment and resources to improve their academic English skills and by introducing them to elements of American culture(s) and expectations in American college classrooms.
