This book is a comprehensive analysis of the language used in judicial settings, providing an in-depth look at how language works in these contexts.

With contributions from legal linguists, lawyers, legal scholars, and other experts, the book explores four central themes: constructing judicial discourse and identities, judicial argumentation and evaluative language, judicial interpretation, and clarity in judicial discourse.

The author, Gianluca Pontrandolfo, holds a PhD in Translation and Interpreting Studies and is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Trieste.

His research interests include corpus linguistics, legal phraseology, legal translation training, LSP discourse, genre analysis, corpus-assisted critical discourse studies.

This book will be an valuable resource for scholars in legal linguistics, judicial argumentation and reasoning, and forensic linguists interested in the use of language in judicial settings.
