Abstract

Rizki, Khana Maulida (2025). Exploring English Terminologies used in Prosecutor Legal Practices, Skripsi, English Education Department, Faculty of Languages and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor (I) Dr. Ima Isnaini Taufiqur Rohmah, M.Pd., (II) Ayu Fitrianingsih, M.Pd. Keywords: Legal Terminologies, Legal Translation, Legal English The use of English legal terminology is increasingly important in prosecutorial practice, particularly in the context of international cooperation and reference to global legal systems. In these situations, prosecutors are required to understand and accurately translate English legal terms in order to maintain legal clarity and avoid misunderstandings. However, there is limited research on how English legal terminology is used and translated in Indonesian prosecutorial practice. This study aims to identify English legal terminology commonly used in prosecutorial practice and describe howit is translated into Indonesian. This research was conducted at the Kejaksaan Tinggi Jawa Timur from February to March 2025. This research used a qualitative descriptive design. Data was obtained through observations, interviews, and document analysis involving prosecutors and prosecution staff. The findings show that: (1) frequently used English legal terms include defendant, prosecutor, plea bargain, jurisdiction, and indictment, which appear both in legal documents and in courtroom discussions; and (2) translation of these terms is done through literal, contextual, and descriptive approaches, depending on the equivalence of the terms in the Indonesian legal system. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the importance of consistent use of legal glossaries and contextual understanding to ensure accurate translations, there by supporting effective legal communication in a multilingual prosecutorial environment.
