Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with the key issues of teaching English at the faculties of law in the Slovak Republic. Paper is dedicated to finding of answers to various problems, such as the question of whether the subject or focus of teaching English for Lawyers is the foreign language or its substance (i.e. law), or if you can teach Legal English in isolation without any knowledge of English/American law, or the Slovak law and the like. The broader scope of the present paper is devoted to the so-called contrast method of teaching, or comparison of substantive legal sections in teaching Legal English, and also certain other didactic and methodological issues related to teaching of Legal English.
