Explains and describes the ways that language use in the legal
system can create inequality and disadvantage. It examines the
three main areas where the two intersect: the central issue of the
language of the law; the disadvantage which language can impose
before the law, and forensic linguistics - the use of linguistic
evidence in legal processes. Each section of the book is preceded
by an introduction by the editor which sets the paper within a
conceptual framework. Lawyer's opinions are not neglected even
though the collection is written mainly by linguists. The section
concludes with a lawyer's response, in which a prominent lawyer
with a particular interest in the content of the section responds
to the papers.
