Law is a profession of words, and It is becoming increasingly common for Linguists to testify as expert witnesses in both civil and criminal trials.

The law experts in European countries takes forensic department seriously but reverse is the case in Nigeria. This research saw that vacuum, and unleashed all the possible solutions by awareness.
