Absract. The article traces the problematic language uses in the practice of the Supreme Court of Cassation of the Republic of Bulgaria. The empirical material is drawn from acts by which the court rules as a third instance in civil, commercial and criminal cases. A theoretical framework of the study is derived, according to which the legal language is a product of institutionalization, and the text is considered as the main form of its expression. The emphasis falls on the practice of the Supreme Court of Cassation, and the problematic language uses registered in it are examined on three main levels: lexical, morphological and syntactic. A hypothesis is expressed about the future development of the language used by the law, as well as a critical position about problematic language uses in judicial practice.
