A quick definition of law-talk:

Term: LAW-TALK

Definition: Law-talk is a way of talking that lawyers use that can be hard to understand. It's like a secret language that only lawyers know. When people talk about legal things, they might use a lot of law-talk.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Law-talk refers to the use of legal jargon or language that is difficult for non-lawyers to understand. It can also refer to discussions that are focused on legal issues and references.

  • "The defendant's motion for summary judgment is without merit due to the lack of evidence supporting their claim." (legalese)
  • "We need to consider the potential liability issues before moving forward with this business deal." (discussion focused on legal concerns)

The first example illustrates the use of legalese, which is a type of language that is often used in legal documents and proceedings. It can be difficult for non-lawyers to understand because it uses technical terms and complex sentence structures. The second example illustrates a discussion that is focused on legal concerns, which is an example of law-talk.
