description The development of vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in legal English teaching requires the adaptation of the teaching methods in such a way as to respond to the students’ present and future needs. In teaching legal language one has to deal with its special features as well as with the particular syntax of legal English which is characterized by long and complex sentences and syntactic discontinuities.

This article focuses on the manner in which the special features of legal language could be taught to Romanian Law School students.
