Drawing on representative corpora of transcripts from over 100
English criminal jury trials, this stimulating new book explores
the nature of 'legal-lay discourse', or the language used by legal
professionals before lay juries. Careful analyses of genres such as
witness examination and the judge's summing-up reveal a strategic
tension between a desire to persuade the jury and the need to
conform to legal constraints. The book also suggests ways of
managing this tension linguistically to help, not hinder, the
jury.
