The importance of the relationship between literature and law, in general, is highlighted; and it is pointed out through examples set by some novels and their treatment of Rights. The text is dedicated, especially, to show how the law is manifested in Roa Bastos’s Yo el supremo, a masterpiece of Latin American letters. The famous and enigmatic Doctor Francia —theologian and jurist—, in his Perpetual Dictatorship in Paraguay, dictates and practices the Law. It expresses what the novel says about the Law and offers historic data that support what is said.

This article is dedicated to the process of thematic consolidation of legal terms. It is evident that terms are commonly utilized in many realms including technology, science, art, literature and law. They have been studied for many years by plenty of scholars since they own primary and secondary meanings. The advancement of cutting-edge technologies has brought about many changes in terminology as well and various terms have appeared in every field. Indeed, law is a very broad area with its differently used words, phrases and word combinations. Nowadays, new terms have also been created in this sphere and they have to be learnt very thoroughly. Presently, lots of presidential decrees and rules have been enacted in a bid to develop law system; therefore, studying legal terms is a must for every linguist working in this field. As W.Shuy stated the main duty of linguists is to help untangle the language confusion (p. 12). Hence, we attempted to present some peculiarities of legal words and differences in their usage.

AbstractThe island embodies a new and subversive geopolitical area. All modern juridical systems are the result of a catastrophe emerging from a state of exception: those who reach an island are in fact survivors of a wreckage, be it physical, spiritual, or cultural. These assertions are the basis for the creation of literary islands, themselves the result of a wreckage, exiles, of a separation from a civilization with its own juridical systems, a disruption of a known system, of a catastrophe, whether physical, moral, political or social. The creation of an island invites a re-examination of the old relationships concerning the juridical, the political, and the theological.
This introduction maps the legal and literary terrain of the larger book, arguing that the two fields share more in common than is typically reflected in scholarship on the thirteenth century. Not only do the histories, saints’ lives, plaints, and polemics of the period reflect and absorb rapidly changing legal worlds, law texts themselves demonstrate the literary training of their creators. This foundational background in grammar and rhetoric, common to clerical administrators of the period, in turn shapes how writers and communities articulate their legal privileges and obligations. The book argues that scholars can most productively approach the relationship between literature and law through the lens of jurisdiction rather than the more common categories of discipline, language, or genre. The literary skills of clerics and lawyers prove most salient at moments when communities must claim or defend the boundaries of their legal authority. “Jurisdictional poetics” encompasses the kinds of writing that emerge from these moments of legal contestation.
Literature and Law in the Era of Magna Carta traces the fortunes of literary training and experimentation across the early history of the English common law, from its beginnings in the reign of Henry II to its tumultuous consolidations under the reigns of John and Henry III. The period from the mid-twelfth through the thirteenth centuries witnessed an outpouring of innovative legal writing in England, from Magna Carta to the scores of statute books that preserved its provisions. An era of civil war and imperial fracture, it also proved a time of intensive self-definition, as communities both lay and ecclesiastic used law to articulate collective identities. Literature and Law in the Era of Magna Carta uncovers the role that grammatical and rhetorical training played in shaping these arguments for legal self-definition. Beginning with Thomas Becket, the book interweaves the histories of literary pedagogy and English law, showing how foundational lessons in poetics helped generate both a language and theory of corporate autonomy. Geoffrey of Vinsauf’s phenomenally popular Latin compositional handbook, the Poetria nova, finds its place against the diplomatic backdrop of the English Interdict, while Robert Grosseteste’s Anglo-French devotional poem, the Château d’Amour, is situated within the landscape of property law and Jewish-Christian interactions. Exploring a shared vocabulary across legal and grammatical fields, this book argues that poetic habits of thought proved central to constructing the narratives that medieval law tells about itself and that later scholars tell about the origins of English constitutionalism.
