The colloquially known catch phrase of publish or perish is very much at the essence of teaching survival in institutions of further education. Consequently, teaching staff are required to submit summaries or abstracts of the articles for publication which ever increasingly require to be translated into English for publication. This article examines the problem areas of summary translation of Croatian summaries written in legal contexts at university level and subsequently requiring translation into English which the task of the legal English teacher. The specifities of legal language are extracted and the issue of translating this language is discussed.
