Legal proceedings in which the language element is involved as part of the disputes

Abstract

The lack of knowledge of the language, in this case, Spanish, plays a determining role in judicial processes. From the misrepresentation of the facts, the ignorance of the prohibitions, the lack of understanding in the judicial dialogue, the defenselessness, to the very manifestation of the adaptation to the system, they become elements that together with migration generates a large number of conflicts. This paper analyses the conflicts where language becomes the protagonist, from a jurisprudential prism, especially attentive to the judgments of the Community of Madrid.
