On 9 March 2020, a new course on German legal technology began for German-speaking legal experts in Serbia. Once again, this course, which has been offered by the IRZ together with the Law Faculty at the University of Belgrade for the past 15 years, was attended by more than twenty people. The participants were welcomed by Miroslav Djordjevic, who works locally for the IRZ in Serbia. He presented the IRZ in general and their extensive activities in Serbia and the region.

The course in German legal terminology is being led by Danka Stojanovic, a specialist in German studies. She is also the author of the textbook “Nemački za pravnike” (German for legal experts). In accordance with the concept behind this textbook, the course is made up predominantly of practical exercises and work with German-language legal texts from practical cases, adapted to suit the current requirements of the participants.

Most of the participants in the course are students. However, some post-graduates and practitioners are also taking advantage of the offer. As past experience has shown, successful completion of this course has a variety of positive effects in terms of language skills and technical knowledge, as well as helping with job applications and professional activity in the field of German-Serbian legal relations.
