Good morning, my name is Yasmina. I have been studying Paralegal Technology for two years now, and I am loving it! In this program you need a great sense of comprehension on texts affiliated to law and patience because you have to do a lot of research on justice cases.
We can all agree that when we receive a letter from the government or a ticket from a cop it's not the easiest thing to read with all these legal terms. It can be even more stressful when you don't understand completely.
When I do a research, it can be extremely long because I search the definition of many words and google definition are not always the best. Also, some good doctrine are in English, and so I am not as comfortable with the legal vocabulary in English but with the Virtual Writing Tutor, it's much easier to research the definitions.
I have been doing long and stressful analysis for 2 years now. I am not saying I am an expert but I have excellent grades.
My goal is to demonstrate how to explore the Virtual Writing Tutor in order to comprehend complex legal terms.
Get ready to follow my step-by-step tutorial.
You will be surprise by how many things you can do to better you grade with this application!
We can all agree that legal terms are really not easy to understand because they are difficult words. You are never sure how a specific word is written like the word oath.
If you misspell a word, it can mean something else or the person reading can simply not understand what you mean and will lose credibility.
For example, the word judge and the word jury. It sounds the same but it's two different meaning that are completely different which means that if you mix them, you will lose your credibility. The judge is the one that makes the decisions in court and the jury (12 people) decide if a defendant is guilty or innocent.
It can be confusing, all these different words, but I will show you a great way to solve this problem.
First, open your browser at the top left corner of your page. Type the URL of the Virtual Writing Tutor into the address bar and hit enter. If you type the URL correctly, you will see this page.
In the top left corner, you will find the logo of the Virtual Writing Tutor. In the top right corner, you will see the menu where you can login.In the middle of the screen is the text area and in the bottom right corner of text area are a series of icons to show you how to pronounce the text you just write. In the middle top of the screen, you find the navigation menu that is used to correct your text.
Now here is where you want to go to find the solution to the specific problem I mentioned before. You go on the text area, and you write, "The members of the jury decided that this criminale is guilty". Then you click on grammar check, and it will show you you error. If you want to know how it's pronounce, you click on the volume icon. Now, this application as limits. It can not correct your error related to your program theory. If we write, "The members of the judge decided that this criminal is guilty", and click on grammar, there is no error that will show up even tho there is one. Like I said before, the words judge and jury doesn't mean the same thing and in that case a judge is not a member of the jury but the Virtual Writing Tutor can't know that which can lead to errors. You always need to do one last check on your text.
So, if you are in Paralegal Technology or a related field, that's how you solve the problem of checking your grammars, vocabulary and punctuation errors. I promised I would show you how to revise your text, and I did it using the website Virtual Writing Tutor.
