courtroom
vocabulary. It’s important to know the law so that you know your rights and know how to stay out of trouble. If you do end up in court, you need to know what to expect and how to communicate politely and intelligently so that you get the best outcome. The vocabulary and expressions you’ll learn will help you understand what is happening in courtrooms on television shows and movies, as well as if you have to appear in court yourself. Court isn’t just for hardened criminals — sometimes we have to go to court for misdemeanours
— small crimes like parking violations and littering, or you may have to go to court because of a lawsuit
or as part of your job. In this video, I’ll discuss different strategies that will help you speak with the people you’ll meet in court — lawyers
, judges
, and police officers
. My best advice is to stay out of trouble, know how to talk to the police, and be informed if you have to go to court.

i wanna practice my english on skype. “batl.1” just add me,and thanks for lessons James =)
hi! Can I add you on skype? Where’re you from?
hello
I’m “luca.medici88”
how add you on skype?
Hi James! Thank YOU, dear teacher!
God bless all of you for the goodness that you do guys!
This is a good start James, just in case we get into trouble; one never knows.
Being familiar with the workings of the judicial system in the foreign country may help you to handle unexpected legal situation with – I would say- a little more confidence.
By the way James, are you an attorney or something like that?
Looking forward to your reply.
See you soon!
I love the part of the difference between misdemeanor and felony in Canada and USA which helps me learn more about possible judgement and meaning in different countries.
I dont understand the last one abt throw out your case and felony and federal charges.
Fine, you’ve given us some useful tools…hoping that we’ll use them watching a movie and not in real life! Thank you so much, James.
But I made 10/10
Thank You Mr James. It is very fruitful
Thank you, James.

Do you like Dire Straits? I still listen the song “Sultans of Swing”.
Yeah, I do love their music. Sultans of Swing is the most famous one, but there´re many many more that´re worth to listen to, i.e. Tunnel of Love, Where do you think you´re going or Brothers in Arms.
By the way, Rebecca loves the song called Shangri-La by Mark Knopfler :) :)
Being a lawyer i liked it so much and found a very usefull and interesting. Also I remembered the firsr course of my studying and such laws which was created long ago as codes of Hammuraby, a king of Babylonia, The Magna Carta signed in 1215 by King John under the threat of civil war, and Habeas corpus Act/
