N2 - The article is an encyclopedia entry on the general syntactic characteristics of legal language, with a focus on legal English. The text deals with cohesion, modality, grammatical metaphor (the passive and the nominal transformations), syntactic discontinuities in legislative writing (with view to the structure of the legal norm), and syntax in spoken legal (courtroom) discourse. It also overviews attempts aimed at simplifying legal grammar and outlines the uses of syntactic analysis as part of expert legal (linguisic) testimony.
