Modele kształcenia tłumaczy w zakresie wiedzy specjalistycznej z dziedziny prawa

Th e aim of this paper is to present and discuss the existing models of training future translators specialising in legal texts at the university level. Th e analysed programmes were selected from undergraduate teaching programmes included in the European Master’s in Translation (EMT) project. Due to specifi c solutions in the fi eld of teaching legal translation, other programmes encompassing the specifi city of legal translation are taken into account. As far as future translators specialising in legal translation are concerned, four components of teaching programmes seem to be important: the translator training curriculum, the signifi cance of legal translation and other related subjects in the curriculum, and, fi nally, the profi les of the trainer and the student. It should be emphasised that each of these components plays an important role in the development of the programmes designed to educate professional translators. What is more, taking into consideration the above research criteria, four models of teaching can be distinguished that are based on the distinction between two basic components of teaching programmes, i.e., the legal part and the translation. All four models are described and analysed providing the account of the two abovementioned components as well as their relation to the overall translator training curriculum. Th e analysis leads to the conclusion that four models of education in the fi eld of legal translation can be observed, i.e. the translation model, translation model with basic legal background, translation model with extended legal background and, fi nally, the legal model
