  1. Read the "Introduction" section. The first 15 pages explain the philosophy of the series, the leveling (CEFR B1), and the TOLES (Test of Legal English Skills) alignment.
  2. Do not skip the "Unit Walkthrough." Before you teach Unit 4 (Tort Law), read the legal background notes. You need to know the difference between negligence and breach of statutory duty before you walk in.
  3. Pre-prepare the handouts. The Teacher's Book contains photocopiable materials in the appendix. Do not wait until the morning of the class to copy them – the role plays often require cutting out cards.
