The Communicational Theory of Law
(CTL) and the Language of Jurists
Aurelio de Prada García1
Abstract: Taking into account that the Communicational Theory of Law, de-
fended by Prof. Robles, is presented as an analysis of the language of jurists,
we will focus on the position of this theory within the secular dispute about
the nature of legal language. Should it be a specialized language or a common
language, the language of common people, so to speak? In order to achieve that
goal, we will carefully analyse the concept of jurist, and therefore, the concept of
Law, which the Communicational Theory of Law defends to draw the appropri-
ate conclusions.
Keywords: Communicational Theory of Law (CTL), language, jurist and citi-
zen.
“Legal language is the language of jurists.”
“Leges ab omnibus intellegi debent.”
