Summary/Abstract: The introductory part of the present article relates to some characteristics of the language of law as applied in the court-room. Further elaborated are some relevant studies of discourse, whose results may help in analyzing the language of law. Some examples from judicial practice are also presented, where linguistic expertise was instrumental in solving the case at issue before the court. Numerous studies and research have been effected lately in the sphere of language in general, so one may expect that corresponding results, as well as those of studying the language of law, would contribute in raising the quality of adjudication.
