Description

Explore how ordinary language transforms into specialised legal discourse in this compelling analysis from Routledge. This book examines why legal language develops its distinctive character and challenges the common misconception that law can be simplified into plain or ordinary language. The study addresses widespread public frustration with legal opacity whilst arguing that law's special linguistic features serve essential purposes within the legal system. By tracing the roots of linguistic obscurity in legal writing, this work provides valuable insight into how language shapes legal practice and why accessible law remains a complex challenge.

Examines why legal discourse maintains distinctive linguistic features despite public criticism.
