Abstract
The expression of language units in a court session serves as a prime example of the manifestation of social standing and its corresponding speech patterns. Unlike any other speech situation, the court’s reliance on its just principles, strict rules and regulations in conducting discussions, and its commitment to fair justice based on citizens’ equality before the law and the court, underscore its official status as an arm of state power. The article will highlight the social factors that influence the speech of the main participants in a court session: the presiding judge, the state prosecutor and the defense attorney. It will analyze how these factors contribute to the unique language they use in their speeches.
