Il progetto si articola in due prodotti, saldamente legati tra loro: il volume cartaceo e le risorse digitali. Il libro si compone di una serie di Unit tematiche, a loro volta suddivise in quattro Lesson, ciascuna dedicata a uno specifico argomento di inglese legale, per fornire un testo agile ma che presenti una struttura robusta e integrata di letture ed esercizi volti a testare e incrementare le principali competenze linguistiche del lettore. In chiusura di ogni Unit un Caso di Studio, pensato per favorire il Critical Thinking e il lavoro di gruppo.
