Steven Horowitz (Aichi-ken, Kariya-shi, 1992-94) is the founder of JETwit, a member of the JETAA USA Board of Advisors, and Director of Legal English Programs at St. John’s University School of Law in Queens, NYC, “the most ethnically diverse urban place on the planet.” He also writes for the St. John’s Legal English Blog.
I was recently interviewed for a podcast episode by Louise Kulbicki, founder of StudyLegalEnglish.com, about the legal English work I do at St. John’s Law School with the LLM students and other non-native English speaking students there. Since my experience on JET teaching English and learning to function well in a cross-cultural environment has been core to my current career, and since JETs often want to know what people do after JET, I thought I’d share the interview here in case of interest.
Here’s a link to the podcast episode titled “LL.M. Legal Writing Tips with Stephen Horowitz”
Topics covered:
- Legal English LLM programmes for non-native speakers
- Legal English writing challenges and tips
- Using IRAC – Issue, Rule, Application, and Conclusion
- Understanding categorization
- Legal English resources
And here’s the video version of the podcast:
