MEMORANDUM ON LANGUAGE AND LAW

RE:       New Electronic Newsletter:

        Language in the Judicial Process



DATE:      May 15, 1995



This is the second call for bibliographic items to be included in a new

electronic newsletter on Language and Law, LANGUAGE IN THE

JUDICIAL PROCESS. The Newsletter will be maintained on a

World Wide Web homepage (address to be announced). The first issues

will list current bibliography in language & law, cite legal cases in which

linguistic issues are important, etc. One goal of the Newsletter is to

continue the fine tradition begin by Judith N. Levi, whose bibliographical

work on language and law over more than a decade culminated in the

publication of her 1994 bibliography, Language and Law: A Bibliographic

Guide to Social Science Reseach in the U.S.A. (see below for ordering

information). For the title of the newsletter, I am indebted to Judith and

also to Anne Graffam Walker; their pioneering work in organizing and

coordinating both the 1985 Georgetown University conference, "Language

in the Judicial Process," and the 1990 volume of the same name,

constituted a substantial contribution to the developing field of language

and law. I use the name "Language in the Judicial Process" with their

permission.



If you have authored or know about items you want included, please

send me complete bibliographic citations (including full first names,

please, and full pagination). The preferred style is that of the LSA Style

Sheet. The deadline for receipt of items for the first issue is today, May

15, 1995. Items may be submitted by e-mail, by fax, or by post:

to submit, please send them--now or later. In addition, I solicit offprints or

other copies of manuscript or published items to be maintained in a
