English for Lawyers

I offer private American accent training for lawyers and legal professionals who are non-native English speakers. Sessions are one-to-one and live on Zoom.

I'm Julie Cunningham, MA, CCC-SLP, a licensed speech-language pathologist.

Does this describe you?

• You want judges, juries, opposing counsel and clients to understand you during arguments, depositions and negotiations.
• You want to pronounce complex legal terminology consistently.
• You want to sound as persuasive in English as you do in your native language.

What we work on

• Courtroom and deposition clarity: speaking so judges, juries and witnesses can follow you, including when you speak quickly.
• Legal terminology: pronouncing Latin-derived and technical legal terms clearly and consistently.
• Stress, rhythm and intonation: where the emphasis falls and how your voice rises and falls in arguments and negotiations.
• Vowels and consonants: the American English sounds that are hardest to hear and to say.
• Pace and delivery: speaking at a steady pace that is easy to follow.

Private sessions can incorporate your own legal terminology and work scenarios.
