The Element presents a comprehensive and critical examination of forensic linguistic studies conducted in the Philippines over an eight- to nine-year period.

Furthermore, the research delves into the complexities of language choice and language policy, shedding light on the sociolinguistic dimensions of legal discourse.

In conclusion, The Element offers a valuable contribution to the field of forensic linguistics by providing a comprehensive and critical review of the studies conducted in the Philippines.
