See above and below...
For the record, I have personally asked a police officer while on the stand if he as well as the DA were speaking a language other than English. He admitted they were. It's referred to legalese. The average person doesn't think anything about it but everyone (including jurors) except the lawyers and judges understand that more or less there are two separate languages being spoken in a court room. One of those being English the other legalese.
Now imagine if you are in court for whatever reason in some foreign country and you don't know the language. You would have to hire a local "practicing" lawyer.. Otherwise you're fucked. Welcome to Amerika.
