Programme overview
Introduction:
Weak Arabic legal writing creates risk inside an organisation: a legal opinion that buries its conclusion, a memorandum of defence that mixes formal and substantive pleas, or an internal resolution whose wording supports two readings. This Core Concept course builds Arabic legal writing and drafting skills for in-house legal teams and legal researchers, focusing on legal opinions, research notes, legal memoranda, notices and regulatory texts rather than contracts. Participants draft and edit realistic legal documents in Arabic and leave with an Arabic Legal Writing Kit: opinion and memorandum templates, a terminology sheet and an editing checklist.
Course Objectives:
Select the correct legal document type, structure and register for each reader and purpose in Arabic
Research a legal question and record it in a structured legal research note with accurate citations
Write Arabic legal opinions using the issue, rule, analysis and conclusion structure with clear reservations
Draft legal memoranda, statements of defence and warning notices in the sequence practitioners expect
Draft internal regulations, policies and resolutions in precise wording that supports one reading only
Review and edit Arabic legal texts for terminology, ambiguity, numerals and language errors before issue
Target Audience:
In-house legal staff who advise management and business units in writing
Legal researchers who prepare research notes and background studies on legal questions
Legal advisers who draft opinions, memoranda and responses to claims
Legal and compliance unit staff who draft internal regulations, policies and resolutions
Paralegals and legal assistants who prepare first drafts of notices and legal letters
Company secretarial staff who word board and committee resolutions

Conclusion:
Clear Arabic legal writing lets an organisation act on legal advice without misreading it. The course moves from the types and language of legal texts, through research notes and legal opinions built on the issue, rule, analysis and conclusion method, to legal memoranda, pleadings structure and notices, and then to regulatory texts, terminology and ambiguity control. The final day's review clinic turns this into an Arabic Legal Writing Kit that participants apply to their next opinion or memorandum.
Arabic Legal Writing: Legal Opinions, Memoranda and Legal Notices runs in Paris over 5 days, with 2 upcoming dates in Paris. The course fee is 23,500 SAR.
