Understanding Legal Language: Problems And Measures For Its Removal

Abstract

Law is a field in which language matters the most. Law is an inexact science as like other social sciences. Neither mathematics nor science is found in legal language. However, the language of the law seems mysterious, as if lawyers are priests muttering incantations in a secret tongue kept hidden from the laity. Law is a specialized subject and it has specific language and terminology. It employs specialized vocabulary and unusual sentence structure which contributes to its peculiarities. The language of law is not an ordinary English language but in fact a complicated arrangement of system containing juristic traits with fundamental of law which perhaps is capable to solve technical question of law. This research paper seeks to throw light on the concept of legal language, its problems and solution to the problems of legal language
