Whether you aim for further education, improved job prospects, or expanded knowledge, this comprehensive course allows you to prepare thoroughly for exams or careers through home study. Plus, it’s structured to be accessible and beneficial even if you have no prior knowledge in Forensic Linguistics: Language and Law.
This course offers an in-depth exploration of the fascinating and intricate relationship between language and the law, a partnership that has evolved significantly over time. Comprising six meticulously designed modules, the course provides learners with the opportunity to delve deeply into the history and development of forensic linguistics, examining its critical role within the legal system and its application in criminal investigations. This course is an ideal foundation for those aspiring to pursue a career in forensic linguistics, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical insights into this unique and specialised field.
One of the core elements of this course is its focus on the historical development of legal language, offering learners a comprehensive understanding of how the language of law has evolved alongside societal changes. This historical perspective is crucial for anyone working with legal texts, as it allows for a deeper appreciation of the nuances in written legal documents such as Acts of Parliament, Wills, and other legal instruments. By tracing the development of legal language, learners will be better equipped to decipher and interpret complex legal texts, a skill that is invaluable in both legal and forensic contexts.
The course also delves into the role of forensic linguists within the criminal justice system, highlighting how language is analysed and utilised during legal proceedings. Learners will explore how linguistic evidence is gathered and assessed in courtrooms, and how it can be used to support or challenge the credibility of witness statements, confessions, and other legal documents. This module emphasises the practical applications of forensic linguistics, demonstrating how linguistic expertise can significantly impact the outcome of legal cases. Additionally, the course addresses the ethical considerations and limitations of forensic linguistic evidence, providing a balanced view of the challenges faced by professionals in this field.
Furthermore, the course explores the concept of language as a crime, examining instances where the use of language itself can constitute criminal behaviour. This aspect of the course delves into the theoretical underpinnings of language-related crimes, such as perjury, defamation, and incitement, providing learners with a thorough understanding of the legal implications of language use. By examining these issues, learners will gain insight into the broader societal impacts of language and its regulation, preparing them for the complexities of working in forensic linguistics.

Career Profile - Solicitor
Career Profile
Solicitors provide expert legal support and advice on a range of personal and commercial issues
As a solicitor, you’ll take instructions from clients and advise on necessary courses of legal action. Clients can be individuals, groups, public sector organisations or private companies.
Depending on your area of expertise, you can advise on a range of issues, including:
* personal issues – buying and selling residential property, landlord and tenant agreements, wills and probate, divorce and family matters, personal injury claims and criminal litigation
* commercial work – helping new enterprises get established, advising on complex corporate transactions (including mergers and acquisitions) and business-related disputes
* protecting rights – making sure individuals are treated fairly by public or private bodies and receive compensation if unfairly treated.
Once qualified, you can work in private practice, in-house for commercial or industrial organisations, in local or central government, or in the court service.
The actual work carried out varies depending on the setting, your specialist area and the nature of the case.
You may use some of your time to give free help to clients who are unable to pay for legal services themselves. This is known as pro bono work.
Types of Law
Solicitors can specialise in numerous practice areas and these can often determine the firms you apply to.
Area of specialisation include:
* civil litigation
* criminal justice
* employment
* family and children
* human rights
* immigration
* private client
* property
* social welfare and housing
* tax
Responsibilities
Work can be split into contentious legal work, which involves resolving disputes, and non-contentious legal work, which covers legal aspects of a client’s business or personal issues.
Whichever type of work you undertake, you’ll need to:
* meet and interview clients to establish the firm’s suitability to provide the necessary advice and services, based on the firm’s specialism and likely cost
* take a client’s instructions
* advise a client on the law and legal issues relating to their case
* draft documents, letters and contracts tailored to the client’s individual needs
* negotiate with clients and other professionals to secure agreed objectives
* research and analyse documents and case law to ensure the accuracy of advice and procedure
* supervise the implementation of agreements
* coordinate the work of all parties involved
* correspond with clients and opposing solicitors
* attend meetings and negotiations with opposing parties
* act on behalf of clients in disputes and represent them in court, or at tribunals, if necessary
* instruct barristers or specialist advocates to appear in court for the client in complex disputes
* prepare papers for court
* work in a team, sometimes referring cases to the head of department
* supervise and delegate work to trainee solicitors, paralegals and legal secretaries as appropriate
* arrange and attend further client meetings where necessary to progress with the case and finalise documentation
* check all documentation prior to signing and implementing
* calculate claims for damages, compensation, maintenance, etc
* carry out administrative duties, e.g. completing time sheets so that charges for work can be calculated and billing clients for work done on their behalf
* take referrals from other firms of solicitors when a conflict of interest arises or if they have no specialist practitioner available
* keep up to date with changes and developments in the law by reading journals and law reports.
Salary
* The Law Society recommends that firms should pay trainee solicitors on training contracts and qualifying work experience a minimum of £27,418 in London and £24,320 in the rest of the country. Although there is no obligation for firms to do this (they don’t have to pay any more than the national minimum wage), it is seen as good practice. Many firms will pay more than the recommended minimum, and some will pay a lot more.
* Members of the Magic Circle, London’s five most prestigious law firms, and international law firms offer salaries for newly qualified solicitors of around £125,000 to £150,000. Salaries for the top US-based firms are in excess of this amount, usually round £160,000 to £180,000.
* Starting salaries in large City firms can range from around £80,000 to £130,000.
* Starting salaries for newly qualified solicitors in private practices elsewhere in the country typically range from around £30,000 to £70,000.
* You can expect your salary to rise year-on-year as you gain more experience. If you become a partner in a firm, your salary could potentially reach in excess of £100,000. Partner salaries at Magic Circle and international law firms can be on average around £400,000.
Your salary will vary depending on a range of factors such as your geographical location, the sector you work in, your practice area, the size of organisation you work for, and your level of skills and experience.
You’re likely to earn more working in commerce and industry than in personal areas of law such as family or personal injury.
Although you’re likely to earn less outside of London and in smaller firms, you may progress up the career ladder more quickly and be given more responsibility earlier on in your career.
Additional benefits can include a bonus, private health and dental insurance, subsidised gym membership and childcare.
Working Hours
You’ll normally work 37 hours a week. However, working longer working hours is not unusual and some roles will involve some evening and weekend work. Solicitors in the largest City firms are more likely to work unsocial, long hours on a regular basis. Working hours can be unpredictable as you need to be flexible to meet clients’ needs.
Part-time work and career breaks are sometimes possible, but you’ll need to keep up to date with changes to the law. Hybrid work – spending some time working from home and some in the office – is also possible with some firms.
What to expect
* The work is generally office based but you may have to travel to meet clients or to attend court. Overnight absence from home may occasionally be necessary.
* Opportunities are available throughout the country, although larger firms tend to establish their practices close to commercial areas and town centres. Most commercial firms are based in Central London, or in large cities such as Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff.
* You should be smartly dressed when interviewing clients or attending court.
* The work can be challenging, although it can also be very rewarding.
* Work with international firms may be possible.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* excellent communication skills, both written and oral
* dedication and commitment to a career in law
* commercial awareness and negotiating skills
* skills in research and analysis
* problem-solving skills
* accuracy and attention to detail
* numeracy and IT skills
* stamina and resilience
* time management skills with the ability to plan work and prioritise tasks
* interpersonal skills, to work as part of a team or with other people and organisations
* the potential to lead and delegate responsibility
* flexibility and openness to new ideas
* resilience and self-confidence
* a professional approach to work, integrity and a respect for confidentiality.
Career prospects
As a newly qualified solicitor, you may be known as an assistant to begin with and will typically work on a fixed salary, usually under the supervision of a partner or senior assistant solicitor.
Gradually, you’ll take on increasing levels of responsibility, building your technical legal skills. You’ll also develop client-handling and business development skills. As you gain seniority, you’ll typically start to supervise junior colleagues.
Promotion in private practice depends on your continuing strong performance, especially meeting targets for the amounts of work that can be charged to clients. Progress is usually from assistant solicitor to senior solicitor and then associate.
Progression is likely to involve becoming the head of a department within the firm, with responsibility for that department’s profit levels and staff.
It may be possible to become a salaried partner and finally an equity partner. This will depend on a combination of factors such as your experience, level of earnings and a willingness to make a financial investment in the firm. There’s no set time for promotion to partnership. The earliest point for consideration is usually around six to eight years after qualification.
Partners are expected to develop the business and be involved in the management of the firm, as well as continuing to update their specialist knowledge.
Career development for in-house and local and central government solicitors generally follows a set structure and may result in a move into general management.
If you go on to practise in litigious areas, you may seek to become a solicitor advocate so that you can represent your clients in court without the need to instruct a barrister. Details are available from the SRA.
Depending on the size of the firm, you may need to change employer in order to progress. Solicitors who develop a reputation in private practice may move to become in-house lawyers, often as a result of being headhunted.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
