The case for foreign languages as an aspiring lawyer
If you want to work in the competitive legal profession, having foreign language skills can help to set you apart.
The relative lack of foreign language skills among the UK population is well-documented. A recent Guardian survey revealed that 39% of young native English speakers were put off learning a foreign language because “most people speak English”, and 14% by the idea that “most other languages are not useful”. But for students hoping to enter the legal profession – which is increasingly global in outlook – being able to speak a foreign language is useful, and ever more desirable to employers. In other words, students who speak more than one language are increasingly valued by employers. The globalisation of legal practice means that many international law firms will not hire lawyers without language skills, said Patricio Grané Labat, partner of public international law firm Volterra Fietta. “In our profession, language skills are critical because, as international lawyers, we apply our trade with words. It is certainly something I look for when I recruit. If a candidate is not fluent in other languages, I generally will not consider them – if I do, it’s usually for a discrete assignment,” he said.
Dr. Martina Künnecke, lecturer at the University of Hull, added: “Students need a global mindset, and language skills are a part of that. It’s absolutely crucial considering the competition in the jobs market today.” She encourages students to learn a new language in their spare time and to take up opportunities to study law abroad.
Knowing at least one foreign language can also enable you to broaden the scope of your work, said Gabriel Helou, legal officer at the Norwegian Refugee Council and former project manager in the rule of law and justice sector at the EU delegation in Jerusalem.
“It enables legal professionals to explore foreign legal systems or experiences through a comparative approach. Referring to the original sources of information can sometimes be more reliable and comprehensible,” said Gabriel Helou. According to him, foreign language skills give lawyers a global mindset which is increasingly useful and desired by employers – so it might be worth dusting off those old textbooks.

A espontaneidade de um processo químico ou físico é determinada pela variação da Energia Livre de Gibbs (∆𝑮). Considere uma reação, sob pressão constante, que apresenta uma variação de entalpia (∆𝑯) igual a 30,0 kJ/mol e uma variação de entropia (∆𝑺) igual a 100,0 J/K.mol, sob temperatura constante de 400 K. O valor da variação da Energia Livre de Gibbs, em kJ/mol, nessas condições é
O Paraná é o maior produtor nacional de carne de frango. A avicultura paranaense é altamente desenvolvida e eficiente, beneficiada por infraestrutura sólida, tecnologia avançada e adequada sanidade animal. Acerca desse assunto, analise as assertivas e assinale a alternativa que aponta as corretas.
I. A recente pandemia de influenza aviária de alta patogenicidade (IAAP) tem gerado impactos econômicos significativos no cenário global, alterando fluxos comerciais e ampliando a demanda internacional por proteínas brasileiras, especialmente do Paraná.
II. Embora o crescimento da avicultura no Paraná represente uma oportunidade econômica significativa, ele exige vigilância constante e políticas públicas eficazes em biossegurança.
III. Os riscos zoossanitários se mantêm latentes. A detecção do vírus influenza aviária em granjas comerciais no Brasil, ainda que pontual, resultou em sanções comerciais e evidencia a fragilidade do setor diante de surtos epidemiológicos.
IV. A influenza aviária é uma doença viral com potencial zoonótico que afeta principalmente aves silvestres e domésticas, mas pode ocasionalmente infectar mamíferos, como bovinos.

Considering the information presented in the text, analyze the following statements.
I. In “The globalisation of legal practice means that many international law firms will not hire lawyers without language skills, said Patricio Grané Labat,” the verbs “means” and “will hire” are in the present and future simple tenses, respectively, while “said” is the past form of the regular verb “say”.
II. In “students are able to study law abroad,” the term “are able to” is functioning as a modal verb and could be replaced by “must” without altering the meaning.
III. The sentence “If a candidate is not fluent in other languages, I generally will not consider them” exemplifies the first conditional, with a present simple verb followed by a future simple outcome.
IV. In “Knowing at least one foreign language can also enable you to broaden the scope of your work,” the modal verb “can” expresses possibility and is correctly followed by the base form of the verb.
Mark the alternative in which the statements are correct.
