Abstract
The article we present below analyses the characteristic elements of a competence-based approach in legal translation education, together with the methodological challenges it poses for translation students. Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, the article aims to provide an accurate depiction of the way legal translation is taught in Spain through the analysis of all existing legal translation syllabi at undergraduate level. The results were contrasted with a number of semi-structured interviews to legal translation lecturers, allowing us to explore what happens in the legal translation classroom and reflect, at the same time, on the lecturers’ perceptions, experiences and opinions about it.
