When we approach the task of teaching EFL it becomes quite easy to find very useful Internet resources, as there is plenty of specific material on this subject on the web. The problem, however, with Legal English (LE) resources is knowing where to start selecting the most suitable sites, as language-focused web sites for non-native speakers (NNSs) of LE do not abound, if they exist at all.* Thinking of the difficulty of finding useful sites for teaching LE to NNSs, I decided to spend some time on searching the web, looking for good web resources that teachers could use when teaching English for Law. I would like to clearly state however that there is an enormous range of legal material available on the web, but I have tried to restrict myself to a number of sites I consider specially suitable for my own specific purposes as a NNSs' LE teacher. The selection of web pages described below is intended to help LE teachers find a place to start their own choice of materials on the web to support language teaching and learning.
