The legal profession is full of jargon that can be confusing for the layperson. Much of this serves a very specific purpose, defining actions and infractions in legal documentation according to the way that the laws are written. This can cause problems when legal arguements need to be interpreted to other languages, as interpreters who aren't well versed in legal jargon can accidentally change the meanings of items in contracts, briefs, and other legal documents through poor translation of jargon.
