Language and the Law Hardback
Edited by John Peter Gibbons
Part of the Language In Social Life series
Hardback
- Information
Description
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.
