Více o knize
Focusing on Malaysia's transition from English to Malay in its legal system, this book examines the complexities of multilingual postcolonial common law. It evaluates the potential benefits and drawbacks of this language shift for citizens less proficient in English. Through legislative analysis, interviews with legal professionals, and observations of court and academic settings, the author explores the broader implications of societal bilingualism on justice. The work poses critical questions about how altering the legal language may also transform the law itself.
