TOLES Advanced was originally founded at the request of a large business law firm in London, which needed a method to test the English language of international interns and new employees in their international offices. This required a review of the tasks that international lawyers had to perform in English and a careful analysis of how best to test knowledge in these areas. The result was the ADVANCED TOLES exam. Since its inception, it has been seen by legal employers around the world as a measure of a lawyer`s command of commercial legal English rather than their command of academic legal English. Commercial Legal English is very different from everyday English or english required to pursue law school at a British or American university. *This book comes with a complete answer key.
