More and more frequently linguists are being called upon to consult
with lawyers and to testify at trials. The field known as "forensic
linguistics" is growing rapidly as linguists analyze spoken and
written language evidence in both civil and criminal cases. Roger
W. Shuy is a prominent linguist who has applied linguistics to the
area of law for over thirty-five years. His book is a practical,
how-to guide for both beginning and established linguists who have
been called upon in this capacity and who may want to start their
own consulting practice. Step by step, the book deals with issues
of how linguists first become and then represent themselves as
experts, how they can start and manage the practice of consulting
on law cases, how they can address important issues of professional
ethics, how they can work most effectively with lawyers, useful
strategies for writing reports and affidavits, and how to
participate successfully in depositions, direct examinations and
cross examinations at trial. Professor Shuy also suggests ways that
linguists can use their forensic linguistic experiences in their
publications and classroom teaching, concluding with suggestions of
some recent books that forensic linguists may need for their
personal libraries. Both American and British legal systems are
covered. Any linguist who is involved professionally in a legal
action will find this volume an essential resource.
