A modified motivational survey of 20 items and 10 open-ended questions was conducted. The data were analysed by means of frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean and standard deviation. The main findings show that the students are relatively “highly” motivated and found to be slightly more “integratively” motivated to learn Legal English. This reveals that integrative motivation is a significant factor among this group of students learning Legal English. Based on the results of this study some important and useful motivational implications and suggestions are formulated for increasing and improving students´ motivation. Also, the findings may lead to innovations in the curricula related to teaching both Legal English and law courses taught in an English language.
