Description

This book explores the ways language is used by the professional legal community for the communication of its main business - the negotiation of justice - in today’s globalized world.

The volume addresses three main aspects of language use in the negotiation of justice. Beginning with the legal contexts of litigation, arbitration and mediation, the book moves on to discuss the main issues identified in those contexts and finally it explores the applications of legal linguistics.

These three aspects are studied across the themes of analyses of legal discourse and genres, issues of power and ideology in the use of legal language, cross-cultural legal communication, questions of recontextualization, accessibility and plain language, law and disciplinary identity, and pedagogy of legal language. With chapters set across a variety of jurisdictions, the contributions offer analytical insights into the interface between law and language.

The book is a valuable resource for those in the legal community wishing to increase their understanding of the use of language for the negotiation of justice.
