Abstract
Lawyers must recognize that, outside of the legal practice, people lack shared knowledge about its workings. Thus, the “lawyer-translator” must supply basic, missing knowledge of legal process, practice, and culture for her words to make sense. Without some of that knowledge, the lawyer’s words lack meaning.
