Each year leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eLaw and Language\u003c\/em\u003e, the fifteenth volume in the \u003cem\u003eCurrent Legal Issues\u003c\/em\u003e series, offers an insight into the scholarship examining the relationship between language and the law. The issues examined in this book range from problems of interpretation and beyond this to the difficulties of legal translation, and further to non-verbal expression in a chapter tracing the use of sign language at the Old Bailey; it examines the role of language and the law in a variety of literary works, including Hamlet; and considers the interrelation between language and the law in a variety of contexts, including criminal law, contract law, family law, human rights law, and EU law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Freeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199673667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199673667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.70d","brand":"Michael Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517276467455,"sku":"9780199673667","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39bd2c13-52f1-4e11-b682-cb372d5328dc.jpg?v=1778731073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/law-and-language-michael-freeman-9780199673667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
