The edited volume Language and Law in Academic and Professional Settings - Analyses and Applications offers a broad overview of the interaction between language and law and the way they influence each other. It offers an insight into the issues, challenges and implications of language and law for the academy and the legal profession. The volume is a carefully selected collection of conference papers by international scholars and researchers from linguistic and legal backgrounds and reshaped into chapters after a blind-review process for inclusion in this volume. The sixteen chapters in this volume have been organized into two Parts. Part I (Analyses) focuses extensively on the analytical dimensions of a range of issues, starting out with past and present perspectives on pragmatically based definitional issues before moving on towards linguistic analyses of legal genres (written and spoken) in different discourse situations. Part II (Applications) provides a more narrowly defined framework of research issues. Research studies here highlight concerns for the development of language curriculum and teaching pedagogy for specific legal purposes, including translation, and address the role of education in academia and the workplace.
