- Summary
- "This book examines the best language fair trial practices of the courts in arguably the most multilingual region of the world. It contains an instructive list of standards and approaches to linguistic dynamics, which may be considered a Language Fair Trial Rights Code. By way of jurisprudential analysis and scrutiny of constitutional imperatives and examination of legislation among the respective jurisdictions from the Sahel region, the Horn of Africa, to the Cape, this publication presents peculiar country specific practices and common standards towards the realisation of a fair trial in a multilingual context. The exceptionally multilingual nature of legal processes in Africa makes the standards in the region instructive towards a universal language fair trial code. The book reveals valuable lessons across jurisdictions, including those outside of Africa, and suggests measures that may be taken to improve existing approaches. It will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Law and Language, Legal Linguistics, Forensic Linguistics, Criminal Justice and Comparative Law"--
