Notice of Scholarship Opprotunity--Legal English

[Daniel Mitterhoff]

Dear Colleagues:

   My organization, China-Mekong Law Center, is sponsoring an academic scholarship for someone with a B.A. in English (hopefully with additional experience, background and/or connections with law) to pursue an M.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language at Payap University in Chiang Mai.  Per the attached notice, the scholarship candidate must also have at least one year of experience teaching English.  The student will conduct his/her research thesis on "Teaching Legal English to Myanmar Lawyers and Law Students" and, after graduation, is expected to work on providing Legal English training to Myanmar lawyers and law students, so that the latter can better access international legal training.

   My guess is that the best scholarship candidates will come from English Depts. or a Lecturer from Law Faculty that already teaches Legal English at his/her university.  However, applications from others with relevant experience are also encouraged.

  More details are in the attached notice.  Please encourage your colleagues (suitable candidates) to apply.  Please note the application process and deadlines.

  Thanks so much.  Dan

Daniel J. Mitterhoff, President

This sounds like a great opportunity for someone Dan.

We are often looking for teachers of legal English to work with Myanmar law firms. We will spread the word,

Dear Zunetta:

  Thanks for spreading the word on the scholarship opportunity.  Hopefully we will get some suitable, if not stellar, candidates. 

  Best wishes, Dan

Dear Eugene:

  This Scholarship Opportunity is not part of any bigger formal CMLC plan, other than to add to Myanmar human resources for the teaching/translation of Legal English.  Of course we hope that the after the scholarship candidate completes the M.A. program, that the individual will then be available to law schools, CSOs and INGOs to help Myanmar law students and lawyers better access the content of international legal education programs.

  Best wishes, Dan

Hi Daniel,

I saw your email (below) in the Myanmar Law Google Group. My company EduLink (based in Myanmar) provides education and training services in Myanmar and have done quite a lot of legal English training with the law schools, UAGO, USC and private law firms. You can find my company profile here. If this scholarship is part of a larger CMLC initiative, would you be interested exploring potential opportunities for collaboration in this domain?
