Provides a valuable contribution to the subject by examining the three main areas where language and the law intersect: the language of the law; language as a source of disadvantage before the law, and forensic linguistics. Each area is dealt with in a separate section which is preceded by an introduction from the editor and concluded by a response from a prominent lawyer who has a particular interest in the area.
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.
