Hello everyone, I am Dušan Predojević and I have been working as attorney at law since two years ago.

While my office is located in the small city of Stara Pazova, I haven't limited myself to a specific area of law. Instead, I've chosen to embrace a wide range of legal matters, primarily focusing on civil law.

Within civil law, I handle various aspects, including property law, contract law, family law, inheritance law, and litigation. Additionally, I've dabbled in criminal law and law of torts. I have significantly improved my English skills with Bright Lawyers program that gave me valuable basis for legal vocabulary and more professional approach towards my foreign clients. Furthermore I became more confident in approaching foreign clients as my knowledge improved. I am so happy to continuing with additional program with all of you.

Beyond the realm of law, music holds a special place in my heart. For the past 19 years, I've been passionate about DJ-ing and have had the privilege of performing both in Serbia and abroad. Music provides me with a creative outlet and serves as a source of joy and fulfillment in my life.

Thank you for allowing me to share a bit about myself. I'm excited to embark on this journey of improving my English language skills and expanding my legal knowledge. Here's to new beginnings and exciting opportunities!

Hello dear Speakers for the Future,

My name is Karolina, and I'm honored to be a part of the projects organizing team. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborated with all of you, both in sharing valuable insights and learning from each other during several months of "Bright Lawyers" implementation. I am happy that we managed to create this valuable community of legal professionals and hope to get chance to expand to other cities. I am honored to get chance to continue with improving soft skills through "Speakers for the Future" project where we will have chance to practice speaking and successful communication technics, to develop active listening and methods for prompt thinking and ability to give prompt answers. We will learn how to negotiate successfully and how to work in teams directing us toward leadership and active citizenship.

In addition to my legal background, I bring with me a wealth of experience gained throughout my academic and civic engagements. Graduated among 3% of best law students at the Faculty of Law University of Belgrade, generation 2009-2013 I realized the importance of leadership and continuing improvement. During my studies and as an active citizen, I had the opportunity to engage in debate, participate in numerous projects, and acquire a diverse set of skills. These experiences have shaped me into the individual I am today and have propelled me towards my goal of becoming a successful lawyer and an initiator, leader in my field.

My journey in law began in 2011, and since then, I have primarily focused on Media Law understanding the importance of media in democratic society, with additional expertise in Commercial Law and International Human Rights. My passion for law extends beyond the confines of the courtroom, as I am deeply committed to using my knowledge and skills to drive positive change in society.

Outside of work, I find joy in traveling and exploring the world, immersing myself in different cultures and experiences. These adventures not only enrich my personal life but also provide valuable perspectives that I bring to my professional endeavors. I look forward to collaborating with each of you and contributing to our collective success.

Warm regards, Karolina

Hi, my name is Milijana Injac. I’m a lawyer specializing in construction and real estate law, and I'm delighted to be a part of the Bright Lawyers team and now Speakers for the Future.

Hi dear Bright Lawyers! :) My name is Miljana Bosin, and I've been an attorney at law since September 2021. I have a deep passion for the law, and learning about its intricacies is what truly drives me. My husband often jokes that every year, I need to embark on a new learning journey and tackle exams to feel truly alive—and I must admit, he's absolutely right!

I currently run my own law office alongside my colleague, Slobodan. My primary focus is on property law and contract law, but I'm eagerly looking forward to expanding my expertise into IT law and serving foreign clients and BL certainly brought me closer to this goal. During 5 months program I have significantly improved my English language skills and I am happy about the contracts and materials we got. Participating in the Bright Lawyers program has provided me with invaluable insights into these new areas of law.

I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Speakers for the Future program, and I look forward to acquiring new skills and knowledge that will enrich my legal practice and my speaking skills.

Warm regards, Miljana Bosin

Hello everybody,

My name is Veljko Martinovic, and I've been practicing law as an attorney since 2020. I'm excited to be a part of this additional course as it presents an invaluable opportunity for me to broaden my English skills and open up new avenues for working with international clients. We do not have an opportunity to improve speaking skills in combination of negotiation, debate etc. so I am very glad to be part of the project.

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. My name is Tea Kordić, and I'm excited to continue with the course but also to meet up all of you from the other group. I completed my studies in 2021 and have since been gaining valuable experience as a trainee attorney at a law office.

I'm eager to embark on this journey of learning and improvement, particularly in the realm of legal English, communication, listening and debating.

Once again, I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this project, and I'm looking forward to the knowledge exchange and growth that lies ahead.

Hello,

I hope you're all doing well. My name is Rade, and I'm excited to share a bit about myself with you. I'm currently immersed in the fascinating world of administrative law within high school system.

While administrative law keeps me busy, my true passion lies in company law. There's something about the intricate workings of corporate structures and regulations that really captivates me.

In terms of my professional journey, I've had the privilege of gaining diverse experiences in various legal domains. During my two-year internship, I delved into commercial, litigation, and banking law, handling a wide range of cases and transactions.

Additionally, I spent a year working at a notary public office, specializing in real estate law. This role provided me with invaluable insights into property transactions and legal documentation.

Furthermore, I've had the opportunity to work in the banking sector, where I was involved in selling credit products, executing advertising campaigns, and serving as an external legal associate. These experiences broadened my understanding of financial regulations and corporate governance.

As I embark on this new chapter, I am eager to expand my knowledge of English legal language, professional terminology, and legal principles. I believe that mastering these aspects will not only enhance my professional capabilities but also enable me to effectively navigate the global legal landscape.

Thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself, and I look forward to learning and growing together in this program.

However, my curiosity extends beyond contracts, as I actively engage in learning and practicing employment law and commercial law.

I look forward to contributing to the legal community and making a positive impact in the field of law. Luna.

Hello everyone, I recently completed my Master studies in International Public Law in September 2023. Meanwhile I have been selected as UN youth representative of the Republic of Serbia and I had an honor to represent our country in the UN headquarters in New York together with my colleague Mihajlo.

My academic background and professional interests are centered around international relations and the international protection of human rights. I am deeply passionate about understanding the complexities of global governance and advocating for the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of nationality or background.

As part of this project, I am excited about the opportunity to expand my knowledge, speaking and communication skills as well as negotiation skills. For a diplomatic career, it is crucial to develop these skills, as they are not typically cultivated within the formal education system. Mastering the intricacies of legal terminology and communication in English is essential for effectively navigating the international legal landscape and engaging in meaningful dialogue with legal professionals from around the world.

I am eager to learn from the experiences and insights of fellow participants and instructors throughout this project. Together, I am confident that we can enhance our language skills and deepen our understanding of legal concepts in an international context.

My main area of focus revolves around assisting business entities, both in the country and abroad, navigating the complexities of legal frameworks and transactions.

As some of you already know, I will soon take on a new role as an assistant at the Faculty of Law, working within the Department of Commercial Law. This position will allow me to share my expertise and contribute to the education of future legal professionals.

The reason for my participation in this course is to further develop my English language skills alongside with communication skills as a future professor I have to be skilled speaker. As the legal landscape becomes increasingly globalized, proficiency in English is essential for effectively engaging with international clients and understanding their legal needs.

Outside of my professional endeavors, I am passionate about motorcycles, skiing, and other extreme sports. These activities provide me with a sense of adventure and exhilaration, serving as a balance to the demands of my legal career.

I am excited to embark on this new learning journey with all of you and look forward to exchanging insights and experiences along the way.

I am a student of law at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Law.

Who am I?

I wish it was easy for me to say who am I. Well, I was known by all as a soldier, by many as a server, by some as an actor, by few as a firefighter. Now people call me a student of law. So that is who I am today, yet I believe myself to be man of philosophy, a student of knowledge, a scholar of life, and as an explorer! I believe in a strong body and a sharp mind.

I love learning new things and meeting new people, maybe that is why I love learning new languages. I have tried to learn as much languages as I can, so I’ve learned English throughout my travels as well as some Spanish. Maybe it’s the way I was raised, learning Slovak and French from a very young age.

So who am I? Well, for you I will maybe  be your debate teacher, or maybe I’ll be a dear colleague of yours, or maybe, just maybe, I will be someone you will be proud to call your friend 🙂

The energetic Republican President had taken his first oath of office upon the death of President McKinley, who died of an assassin's gunshot wounds on September 14, 1901. Mr. Roosevelt had been President himself for three years at the election of 1904. The inaugural celebration was the largest and most diverse of any in memory-cowboys, Indians (including the Apache Chief Geronimo), coal miners, soldiers, and students were some of the groups represented. The oath of office was administered on the East Portico of the Capitol by Chief Justice Melville Fuller.

MY fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manlier and hardier virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of vainglory, but rather a deep and abiding realization of all which life has offered us; a full acknowledgment of the responsibility which is ours; and a fixed determination to show that under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul.

Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave as beseems a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words, but in our deeds, that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of just and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong. While ever careful to refrain from wrongdoing others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression.

Our relations with the other powers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealth, in population, and in power as this nation has seen during the century and a quarter of its national life is inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to greatness. Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face other perils, the very existence of which it was impossible that they should foresee. Modern life is both complex and intense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary industrial development of the last half century are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of administering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a Democratic republic. The conditions which have told for our marvelous material well-being, which have developed to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance, and individual initiative, have also brought the care and anxiety inseparable from the accumulation of great wealth in industrial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends, not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind. If we fail, the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock to its foundations, and therefore our responsibility is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as it is to-day, and to the generations yet unborn. There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the gravity of the problems before us nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unflinching purpose to solve them aright.

Yet, after all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this Republic, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertaken and these problems faced, if our duty is to be well done, remains essentially unchanged. We know that self-government is difficult. We know that no people needs such high traits of character as that people which seeks to govern its affairs aright through the freely expressed will of the freemen who compose it. But we have faith that we shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now enjoy. We in our turn have an assured confidence that we shall be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our children and our children's children. To do so we must show, not merely in great crises, but in the everyday affairs of life, the qualities of practical intelligence, of courage, of hardihood, and endurance, and above all the power of devotion to a lofty ideal, which made great the men who founded this Republic in the days of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this Republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln.

RHETORICAL APPEALS

The Greek philosopher Aristotle teaches that writers can use three appeals to influence or persuade their audience:  logos, pathos, and ethos.

Logos (Logic): Writers can persuade their audience by using logical argument. Writers appeal to readers’ sense of logic by making claims and using factual evidence to support those claims. Writers also appeal to logic through reasoning, such as if/then statements (also called enthymemes or syllogisms).

Pathos (Emotion): Writers can persuade their audience by invoking emotion or relating to readers’ emotions. Writers can appeal to readers’ sense of emotion through emotionally charged stories, word choice, and imagery.

Ethos (Credibility): Writers can persuade their audience by demonstrating trustworthiness, good will towards the audience, and morality. Writers appeal to readers’ sense of trust by citing credible sources, asserting personal authority or subject matter expertise, or demonstrating good intent and morality.

TIPS FOR DOING A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS

Questions to Consider

When conducting a rhetorical analysis, consider the following questions:

Who is the intended audience, and how does the writer tailor the writing to that audience?

What is the purpose, and how does the writer tailor the writing to that purpose?

What appeals does the writer make and how? Are those appeals an appropriate choice for the intended audience and purpose?

What kind of style and tone is used, and how are they suitable for the intended audience and purpose?

What do the chosen writing strategies in the writing reveal about the writer or culture that made it?

This set of questions was adapted from “Basic Questions for Rhetorical Analysis,” a resource from Brigham Young University’s Silvae Rhetoricae: http://rhetoric.byu.edu/Pedagogy/Rhetorical%20Analysis%20heuristic.htm

Elements to Consider

When answering those questions, look at and consider the following elements of the writing:

Word Choice/Diction

Structure

Tone

Use of sources

Evidence

Genre

# data[].attributes.body
Discuss how the audience and the desired tone for a speech can influence diction (word choice).

Compare the effects of using passive vs. active voice, and first-person vs. other tenses in a speech.

Discuss the effectiveness of the use of symbolism in writing and speech.

Define hyperbole, antimetabole, and polysyndeton, and identify when these devices might be appropriate and useful in terms of persuasion.

Describe techniques for connecting with your audience, including storytelling and drawing on shared experience.

Speaking skills: the basics

These 13 simple tips will give you a solid foundation for using language and your own body to give the best presentations ever.  It has to be said that it really, really pays to practice before you get anywhere near the audience!

1. Stay hydrated. To keep your vocal cords and mouth from drying up, Up your liquid intake (e.g., water or tea) well in advance of your presentation.

2. Get enough vocal rest. If you spend the night before your presentation shouting at a football match or in a loud bar, you’re putting unnecessary strain on your voice for the next day.

3. Stand up straight, with your weight evenly distributed on both feet. Make sure your chest is relaxed and open; if you let it cave in, you can’t make the most of your voice, and you may come across as insecure.

4. Breathe in and out calmly and deeply, feeling your breath fill your chest down to your diaphragm. Practice exhaling for a long time and taking a deep breath before each long sentence, and definitely before starting your presentation. This means you can speak freely, without having to catch your breath in the middle of a sentence.

5. Maintain a natural and relaxed pitch to your voice. Avoid letting your voice get higher when you speak louder or when you’re nervous. Lower pitches are often more comfortable to hear.

6. Record your presentation when you rehearse (yes this is terrifying, but it does pay off!) and listen to the tone of your voice and how you express yourself. Are you speaking too loudly or too softly? Where can you improve? What comes across as confident? Are there any places where you sound unconvincing?

7. Don’t rush your ideas! Take a deep breath after each sentence and make good use of the short pause (see below). This will keep you focused and calm.

8. Watch your speaking speed. Speaking too quickly means your audience won’t catch what you’re saying. The entire point is to be heard and understood. Your message is the focus, and it’s a real shame if your speech obscures that.

9. Speak clearly. Sounds obvious, but it’s easy to mumble or slur your words when nervous. A fun exercise is to practice tongue twisters every now and then, pronouncing them as clearly as possible.

10. Use short sentences. The shorter the sentence, the easier it is to understand. Our brains are designed to focus on one core concept when listening, and longer sentences can decrease that focus. Put the most important statements directly at the beginning of a sentence and emphasize them (e.g., “We generated 3.5 million euros this year. 3.5 million!”).

11. Try not to use too many foreign words: they can seem sophisticated when you write your speech, but quickly lead to many listeners switching off. The average attention span is only 20 minutes, so calibrating the length of your presentation is important.

12. Hum! You can practice finding your own optimal speech volume and voice tone by humming a few times and then going straight to speaking a sentence. This will help you use the most pleasant and persuasive pitch of your voice.

13. Find your groove. Keep your presentation feeling as free and easy as possible.

Try to practice all these tips when you rehearse your presentation. You’ll soon see how much more confident you come across. You’ve started mastering great speaking skills already!

1. Analyze and cultivate your BATNA. In both integrative negotiation and adversarial bargaining, your best source of power is your ability and willingness to walk away and take another deal. Before arriving at the bargaining table, wise negotiators spend significant time identifying their best alternative to a negotiated agreement, or BATNA, and taking steps to improve it.

2. Negotiate the process. Don’t assume you’re both on the same page when it comes to determining when to meet, who should be present, what your agenda will be, and so on. Instead, carefully negotiate how you will negotiate in advance. Discussing such procedural issues will clear the way for much more focused talks.

3. Build rapport. Although it’s not always feasible to engage in small talk at the start of a negotiation (particularly if you’re on a tight deadline), doing so can bring real benefits, research shows. You and your counterpart may be more collaborative and likely to reach an agreement if you spend even just a few minutes trying to get to know each other. If you’re negotiating over email, even a brief introductory phone call may make a difference. This is one of the most valuable negotiation skills to master.

4. Listen actively. Once you start discussing substance, resist the common urge to think about what you’re going to say next while your counterpart is talking. Instead, listen carefully to her arguments, then paraphrase what you believe she said to check your understanding. Acknowledge any difficult feelings, like frustration, behind the message. Not only are you likely to acquire valuable information, but the other party may mimic your exemplary listening skills.

5. Ask good questions. You can gain more in integrative negotiation by asking lots of questions—ones that are likely to get helpful answers. Avoid asking “yes or no” questions and leading questions, such as “Don’t you think that’s a great idea?” Instead, craft neutral questions that encourage detailed responses, such as “Can you tell me about the challenges you’re facing this quarter?”

6. Search for smart tradeoffs. In a distributive negotiation, parties are often stuck making concessions and demands on a single issue, such as price. In integrative negotiation, you can capitalize on the presence of multiple issues to get both sides more of what they want. Specifically, try to identify issues that your counterpart cares deeply about that you value less. Then propose making a concession on that issue in exchange for a concession from her on an issue you value highly.

7. Be aware of the anchoring bias. Ample research shows that the first number mentioned in a negotiation, however arbitrary, exerts a powerful influence on the negotiation that follows. You can avoid being the next victim of the anchoring bias by making the first offer (or offers) and trying to anchor talks in your preferred direction. If the other side does anchor first, keep your aspirations and BATNA at the forefront of your mind, pausing to revisit them as needed.

8. Present multiple equivalent offers simultaneously (MESOs). Rather than making one offer at a time, consider presenting several offers at once. If your counterpart rejects all of them, ask him to tell you which one he liked best and why. Then work on your own to improve the offer, or try to brainstorm with the other party an option that pleases you both. This strategy of presenting multiple offers simultaneously decreases the odds of impasse and can promote more creative solutions.

9. Try a contingent contract. Negotiators often get stuck because they disagree about how a certain scenario will play out over time. In such cases, try proposing a contingent contract—in essence, a bet about how future events will unfold. For example, if you doubt a contractor’s claims that he can finish your home renovation project in three months, propose a contingent contract that will penalize him for late completion and/or reward him for early completion. If he truly believes his claims, he should have no problem accepting such terms.

10. Plan for the implementation stage. Another way to improve the long-term durability of your contract is to place milestones and deadlines in your contract to ensure that commitments are being met. You might also agree, in writing, to meet at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract to check in and, if necessary, renegotiate. In addition, adding a dispute-resolution clause that calls for the use of mediation or arbitration if a conflict arises can be a wise move.
