This article discusses abundant legal terms and law words in connection with lexical and semantic features of them in diverse context. It is entirely important to identify linguistic feature of legal terms to reach absolute or adequate translation of legal texts and legal terms. The use of language is crucial to any legal system, not only in the same way that it is crucial to politics in general, but also in two special respects. Legal language is the language which is used by the people (like lawyers and other legal professionals), engaged in legal profession. Like English and Uzbek languages, legal language itself is now a global phenomenon. It contains a number of unusual features which are related to Terminology, linguistic structure, and linguistic conventions. Due to its rich vocabulary, we find many problems in legal language like “ambiguity”, “multiple meaning”, and “doubtfulness in its contents”[1]. The article conveys numerous English and Uzbek legal terms and their lexical features.
