Legal Language and Interpretation

Abstract
Abstract
A survey of valuation law conducted across jurisdictions whose law is written in thirty-five source languages — each treated jurisdiction's law counted once by language — in a journal that itself publishes in twelve, produced a result its author did not expect: the jurisdictions surveyed cluster by legal-linguistic lineage rather than by geography, and at least one apparent convergence between distant legal systems turns out on inspection to be partly common ancestry. This article sets out what the multilingual method revealed, distinguishes four ways in which a language carries law across borders, and corrects one point in the department's draft comparative synthesis.
