Synopsis

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 three main aspects of language use are explored: in the legal contexts of litigation, arbitration and mediation; in the main issues identified in those contexts and finally in the applications of legal linguistics. Themes such as issues of power and ideology in the use of legal language and cross-cultural legal communication are also considered.
