This book explores the language of judges. It is concerned with
understanding how language works in judicial contexts. Using a
range of disciplinary and methodological perspectives, it looks in
detail at the ways in which judicial discourse is argued,
constructed, interpreted and perceived. Focusing on four central
themes - constructing judicial discourse and judicial identities,
judicial argumentation and evaluative language, judicial
interpretation, and clarity in judicial discourse - the book's
ultimate goal is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis
of current critical issues of the role of language in judicial
settings. Contributors include legal linguists, lawyers, legal
scholars, legal practitioners, legal translators and
anthropologists, who explore patterns of linguistic organisation
and use in judicial institutions and analyse language as an
instrument for understanding both the judicial decision-making
process and its outcome. The book will be an invaluable resource
for scholars in legal linguistics and those specialising in
judicial argumentation and reasoning ,and forensic linguists
interested in the use of language in judicial settings.
