  • Doctoral defence: The formality of criminal judgments is a facet of the national law and legal culture

    1.6.2015 16:00

Her research reveals that where content and structure are concerned, the degree of formality in such judgments in both countries can be attributed to the combined influence of the country’s legislation and legal culture. The phraseology found in the judgments, that is, the fixed expressions, have most often been taken directly from legal texts.
