<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif">Dear All</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif">We are delighted to announce the first issue of a new international bilingual bi-annual journal – </font><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Language and Law - Linguagem e Direito. The journal is electronic and available </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">for
everyone to download at </span><a href="http://ler.letras.up.pt/site/default.aspx?qry=id05id1444id2666&sum=sim">http://ler.letras.up.pt/site/default.aspx?qry=id05id1444id2666&sum=sim</a> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif">Because Language and Law has no printing costs it can be extremely flexible to individual author’s requirements: not only can it publish quickly all the high quality articles it receives, but also it can cope with long appendices,
reproduce illustrations, photographs and tables in colour, and embed</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif">sound files and hyperlink as necessary.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif">We chose the title Language and Law – Linguagem e Direito to indicate that we welcome </font><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">articles across the whole spectrum of the discipline and from both practitioners and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">academic
researchers. Thus, for example, this first issue includes contributions from a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">chief of police, a public prosecutor, a professional translator, a professional interpreter and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">two
expert witnesses, as well as from academic lawyers and linguists.</span></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial,sans-serif">There is an article by Maria Lúcia Gomes and Denise Carneiro about Forensic Phonetics in Brazil, and one by Alison Johnson and David Wright about authorship analysis. Rui Sousa-Silva writes about plagiarism by translation.
Liz Carter about deceptive responses in police interviews, Marcos Ribeiro and Cristiane Fuzer about honour crimes, Edilson Vitorelli about the language rights of indigenous Brazilians. Gail Stygall analyses incomprehensible Jury Instructions while Débora Figueiredo
examines representations of the crime of rape in Brazilian legal texts.</font></div>
