Abstract:

Bringing together cutting-edge research at the intersection of
language, communication and legal practice, this volume challenges
established processes and explores key questions arising from real
cases, practices, or sites of contention, where tackling linguistic
issues can help enhance access to justice. Directly addressing areas
of genuine professional and institutional concern, the collection
provides novel and groundbreaking insights into the multiple
communication-related challenges the justice system and legal
professionals have to navigate on a daily basis. The volume engages
with a wide range of legal areas, including criminal law, family law,
civil law, immigration, international law, and legal education. It has
an international scope, with relevance across both adversarial and
inquisitorial legal systems, international legal institutions, and
multilingual jurisdictions. Collectively, the chapters highlight the
immense benefits and opportunities which arise when legal and applied
linguistic scholarship are harnessed together, especially for
scrutinising the accountability, transparency and accessibility of the
justice system.
