Abstract
The study aims to contribute to the analysis of legalese in court interptreting.
In the frame of this research close attention is paid to legal discourse as an integral communication of language and law, specifically to the function of idioms in the speech of lawyers and their translation tricks. An increase focus is put on characterising and translating idioms, due to the peculiarities of their structure and cohesion of meaning. Our database encompasses a wide range of terms drawn from the realm of law and a spectrum of idioms and slang. The coded meaning of these words is unveiled in legal discourse, moulding a rich tapestry of interpretive words with their counterparts in target languages.

 Keywords: legal language, court interpretation, text interpretation, idiomatic expressions, slang; etc.
