Product Description

Review

'Cotterill's recent collection reminds us at every turn that the law is neither monolithic nor impersonal. It is made up of a number of strange (and sometimes beautiful) procedures and staffed by a heady mix of individuals who are in the final measure, human...The problems raised are not only problems for linguists and lawyers. They demand consideration from anyone who would be considered a member of society.' - Annabelle Mooney, British Association of Applied Linguistics

Product Description

In this new paperback edition of Language in the Legal Process, linguists and lawyers from a range of countries and legal systems explore the language of the law and its participants, beginning with the role of the forensic linguist in legal proceedings, either as expert witness or in legal language reform. Subsequent chapters analyse different aspects of language and interaction in the chain of events from a police emergency call through the police interview context and into the courtroom, as well as appeal court and alternative routes to justice.
