Book excerpt: The main purpose of this comparative legal and linguistic study is to analyse three main aspects which form the basis of the writing of the "Czech-English Law Dictionary with Explanations" (a) the language of law in the Czech Republic (legal Czech) and major English-speaking countries (legal English), (b) approaches to the translation of legal texts, and (c) approaches to dictionary-making in the area of bilingual special-purposes lexicography. Well-grounded and justified solutions are sought to be used in the dictionary but also to indicate directions of envisaged future research and pedagogical applications.
