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.
