    Legal language is complex, using terms differently than everyday speech. Lawyers must master language to effectively advocate for clients within the legal system. There are at least four ways lawyers encounter specialized vocabulary, including technical terms from outside general usage and words with different meanings legally. Legal language aims to logically convince audiences of truth, understand human nature, and respect freedom of thought - not simply arouse passions. As with any field, lawyers require a distinctive vocabulary to properly communicate within the law.
