The Art of Brewing and Legal Terminology

If you’ve ever been to a brewery, you can see that almost every process is extraordinarily complicated. You must carefully balance hundreds of different ingredients and chemical reactions in order to create a single glass of beer. While none of us care to think about all that when we order our shandies, most of us have an innate confidence that we’re getting a delicious beer. But how could we have that confidence when every single person who makes beer has an individual recipe, and billions of people are making beer every day all over the world? The key is that modern beer brewing is an art that’s well understood and widely standardized.

Hercegovacka Pivovara has been brewing top-quality beer since 1892 like all other breweries, but the company is committed to bigger and better quality products. Today, the company crafts its quality ingredients into eight different beers, four for the domestic market and four which are made for global markets. Every single one of those beers is held to international quality standards, and the company has its own quality control managers making sure that every batch is perfect.

This commitment to quality ingredients and quality processes is the same that goes into making comprehensive legal terminology courses. If you’re looking for a top-quality course, you need to stop and think about how legal terminology courses are crafted, and see if the course is made with the same attention to detail that goes into making the highest-quality beer.

What we at ScreenKeys have found with our legal terminology courses is that the best way to teach legal terms is to start with the basics and build up to more complex issues. That’s how we’ve designed our legal terminology courses. But just like brewing beer, the courses are all informed by the fact that everyone has a special recipe and everyone makes that recipe differently every time. In other words, there are thousands of ways to make a good legal terminology course, but the better the legal terminology course, the more likely it is to be built on the same solid foundation.

Just like it would be hard to brew beer if you didn’t understand the difference between hops and barley, having precise knowledge of what words mean is crucial to effective understanding of the law. That’s why legal terminology courses are so important to professionals in the law. If you want to have a good, clear understanding of the law, you need to understand the legal terms that are used. Without that understanding, you’ll likely be confused by frequent misunderstandings of the law, such as:

But even legal terms are commonly misunderstood! A recent case was thrown out on appeal because the attorney on the case confused the word “battery” (an unlawful, offensive touching of one person by another) with the word “batteries” (essentially, batteries are like batteries). That kind of misunderstanding is exactly what a legal terminology course is crafted to prevent.

After taking a legal terminology course, you’ll understand the law at a deeper level than ever before! From here, you can see why a legal terminology course is the very foundation of your legal education. It’s the book at the bottom of the stack that allows you to study whatever you want through to the top of the stack. It’s the document that shows you what words actually mean. And that means that our course is like a brewing manual that shows the tip-top brewers of the world how to make their dreams (and beers) a reality.

We can’t guarantee that you can know everything about the law from a legal terminology course. The law is complicated, just like brewing beer. But a legal terminology course is the best place to start if you’re looking to learn more about the law.
