Trade Review
"I could not be more enthusiastic about this book. Richland has provided one of the very few extended considerations of courtroom talk in a language other than English - to very good effect. He makes an argument that makes a real difference, and does so with insight, clarity, imagination, and rigor." - Donald Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz"
