To work on an EDLC case, does a lawyer need to speak another language, know local law, or travel abroad?
Some cases require fluency in a foreign language (most often Spanish), while many do not. Lawyers can usually work on an EDLC case even if they do not speak a foreign language. Knowledge of local law is not a requirement. Some cases require one or more trips to the country where the case arises, and others are handled exclusively from the United States or Europe. Lawyers working on EDLC cases have traveled to a half dozen countries, and the list is growing.
