Is it "me"? I was shocked to hear from my students yesterday that a law school near my home in Moscow was closed for live classes the next few weeks due to an attack of missiles! (ракеты) Coming so soon after the Crocus attack, I was really panicked. Only after a few moments of very confused discussion (OMG, was anyone killed? Was the building destroyed? etc.) did I find out they had mispronounced "measles." (корь) The school was quarantined due to some students with attacks--ie, an "outbreak"--of measles. To pronounce "mi" your mouth is rounded. To change it to "me" you must widen the sides of your mouth almost into a smile. Maybe the reason Americans are known to smile a lot is that they are thinking of "me"!😃 Take Pericles' Approaching Legal English course this summer, and learn to avoid pronunciation mistakes that could cause panic!

We chose Sergey Gurin as our student of the month for his amazing perseverance, hard work, and ultimate amazing success! When Sergey first started in Pericles LL.M. program, in Fall 2012, he was really challenged by the English level and difficulty of the courses. His first semester grades were awful, so Professor Dent and Professor Mendelssohn actually advised him that he was unlikely to succeed and encouraged him to drop the program. But Sergey didn't believe that he couldn't master it. He took a step back and took several years to improve his English, figuring out how American law school programs worked, and then rejoining the LL.M. program in summer 2021, getting an A- in Legal Writing just for starters. Since then he has been building on that success with consistent high grades, until this fall, in International Asset Recovery, he got the top grade in the class! What an amazing improvement, Sergey, and we are so glad you proved our professors wrong! https://pericles.ru/able/som/som_02_24.html

Free Women's Day Movie Screening and Reception It’s tough to be first! In celebration of the remarkable achievements of women in the legal field, Pericles Law Center, and our event sponsors KIAP, Attorneys at Law and D&A Partners invite you to a free screening of the movie "First Monday in October." This 1981 fictional comedy follows the journey of the first woman justice on the US Supreme Court, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs she faced, and painting an enlightening portrait of attitudes towards women in the law in the 1970s and 80s. Life imitates art as the first real woman on the Supreme Court was nominated that same year, and as the fictional justices wrangle with the limits of free speech versus pornography in a case that actually took place in the Supreme Court a full seven years after this movie was produced. Following the screening, we will enjoy refreshments, and engage in a heartfelt discussion and memorialization of the life and legacy of the recently deceased Sandra Day O’Connor, the trailblazing woman who made history as the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Her groundbreaking contributions to the legal profession continue to inspire generations of women. The event is entirely in English, providing a rare and valuable opportunity to practice your English language listening and conversational skills. A limited Russian/English vocabulary will be available. Date: Wednesday, March 6, 2024 Time: 19:00-22:00 Location: Pericles Law Center, 34 Marxistkaya Ulitsa, Building 7, Moscow This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women in law, honor the legacy of Sandra Day O’Connor, and engage in meaningful conversations about gender equality and representation in the legal field.
