Just as important, the depth of the analysis is matched only by the eloquence of her prose. Her clear writing, coupled with liberal use of data excerpts through out the chapters and the fact that the book is available in an affordable paperback edition, makes The Language of Law School an attractive text for a number of courses in linguistic anthropology, discourse studies, legal discourse, law and society, and legal socialization at graduate, undergraduate, and professional levels. --American Anthropologist<br> Author InformationElizabeth Mertz is Senior Researcher, American Bar Foundation and Professor of Law, Wisconsin Law School.
