Abstract

This chapter surveys the interfaces between the law and language in the context of legal practice, emphasising the critical need to integrate linguistic insights into legal education and professional training. The use of language is explored in legislative drafting, statutory interpretation, evidence, legal communication and court proceedings, underscoring its significance in the operation of a legal system. By examining these interfaces, the chapter demonstrates the necessity of fostering a nuanced understanding of language within the legal profession. It concludes by proposing enhancement of legal education and practice through transdisciplinary academic leadership, focussing on research, collaboration, consultancy and research-led law curriculum and professional training. This approach aims to equip prospective and current legal professionals with the linguistic skills necessary to navigate the cultural complexity of modern law practice.
