Abstract

In this article I briefly describe the structure and content of the _Research Handbook in Jurilinguistics_ (Wagner and Matulewska, eds., Edward Elgar _Research Handbook on Jurilinguistics_, 2023). I discuss two main aspects which, to my view, make it a unique work: first, the focus on issues of vagueness and on some pratical aspects of legal interpretation/translation; second, the timeliness of work in law and language both with practical and theoretical takes on the phenomenology of legislation and legal decision-making.
