“Soláthraíonn an cúrsa seo nasc idir Dlí agus Gaeilge le cur chuige nuálaíoch, ilmheán idir theagasc ranga agus mhodúil ar líne. Dírítear ar chruinneas teanga agus ar chúrsaí litríochta ar dtús. Forbraíonn an cúrsa ansin le hoiliúint in ardscileanna teanga i gcomhthéacs dlíthiúil. Ag deireadh na céime beidh mic léinn eolach ar agus ábalta téacsanna dlíthiúla i gcomhthéacs náisiúnta /idirnáisiúnta a aistriú le fócas ar dhlítheangeolaithe / aistritheoirí in institiúidí na hEorpa fosta. Más spéis leat cruinneas teanga i gcomhthéacs dlíthiúil mar aon le cultúr agus litríocht na Gaeilge, soláthróidh an cúrsa rogha fhairsing de dheiseanna fostaíochta do mhic léinn Dlí agus Gaeilge.”
