This volume responds to a growing interest in the language of legal settings by situating the study of language and law within contemporary theoretical debates in discourse studies, linguistic anthropology, and sociolinguistics. The chapters in the collection explore many of the common occasions when those acting on behalf of the legal system, such as the police, lawyers and judges, interact with those coming into contact with the legal system, such as suspects and witnesses. However the chapters do this work through the conceptual lens of 'textual travel', or the way that texts move across space and time and are transformed along the way. Collectively, notions of textual travel shed new light on the ways in which texts can influence, and are influenced by, social and legal life. With contributions from leading experts in language and law, Legal-Lay Communication explores such 'textual travel' themes as the mediating role of technologies in the investigatory stages of the legal process

每一個進入醫學系的學生，都必然聽過一句話：「當醫師前，要先當一個人。」林口長庚醫院，坐落於桃園市龜山區，位在經常猝不及防起霧的林口臺地上，一個俗稱為「上龜山」的區域。充滿生死交關時刻的醫院，就像是一座精密的流水線工廠，叫號、診斷、治療、出院，或是「飛走了」，只要有某個環節延誤，就會拖累整座工廠。醫療人員在日復一日的醫療工作中，逐漸習慣於將人體視作皮膚、結締組織、淋巴結和血管的組合體。身處這座霧中巨塔，他們必須在生死之間尋找平衡，努力保持作為一個「人」看待其他「人」的目光。作為一個從高雄來到桃園的北漂醫學生，就學外加見習的六年間，他見證了此地的逐步變遷與日漸興盛，將散落在巨塔之外的碎片拾起；而作為一個見習醫生，他在霧中的白色巨塔穿梭，在來來去去的人群中遊走，在醫學與情感之間掙扎，最終會蛻變成什麼模樣？且聽鍾肇政九龍書室文學獎與長庚文學獎得主Rock，將醫療場域中那些微小卻深刻的故事娓娓道來！
