On 9 November 2026, Riga Graduate School of Law (RGSL) hosted the launch of The Ultimate Guide to Legal English – A Different Approach, a new book by RGSL lecturer Monica Migliarotti, exploring the relationship between legal language and the Civil Law and Common Law traditions.
An Italian lawyer trained in the Civil Law tradition, Monica Migliarotti holds an LL.M. from Tulane Law School in the United States and has professional experience in both the UK and the US. Drawing on this international background, her book offers a different approach to Legal English, focusing not simply on terminology but on the meaning and interpretation of legal concepts across jurisdictions.
The conversation was moderated by Associate Professor Dr. Aleksandrs Fillers, Director of RGSL’s Business Law and Finance Master’s Programme. The discussion explored how legal concepts can change meaning across languages and legal systems, and how cases, practical examples and storytelling can deepen our understanding of legal language.
RGSL extends its sincere thanks to Monica Migliarotti and Aleksandrs Fillers for an engaging discussion, and to everyone who joined us for the event.
