Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of modern court discourse. The most general concept for communication processes in the legal sphere is the concept of legal discourse. It was determined that court discourse is a verbal and symbolic expression of the process of communication during the court process, which is considered in a socio-historical, national-cultural, specific situational context, taking into account the characteristics and intentions of the communicators.
