Society’s need to better understand, apprehend, and manage the volume of written material generated by legal instances at regional, national, and supranational levels is becoming ever more urgent. Researchers from a wide range of backgrounds are working to meet these expectations. In this issue, we therefore set out to provide an overview of certain approaches from three perspectives on legal writing: words, documents, and arguments.
However, the language of law is a “complex object, involving several fields, which cannot be fragmented without changing its definition” (Legay and Schmid, 2004). Consequently, all the approaches presented in this issue are positioned on an interdisciplinary continuum between three scientific fields: linguistics, law, and computer science, as a tool for validating theoretical models or for observing voluminous textual ensembles.
