The Introductory Workshop for the Dutch-English / English-Dutch Legal Translation Course is especially intended for beginning translators and is  — if there is sufficient interest! — held twice a year, i.e. on the last Saturday in May and the last Saturday in August. The primary aim of the workshop is to introduce participants to the discipline, so that they can assess whether this discipline suits them and whether the yearlong course is appropriate for them.
