Abstract
Domain-specific texts are usually intended for a specific academic and / or professional community and can often be impenetrable to those from outside that community or without the relevant genre knowledge. This can be especially true with legal texts. This paper presents a study of a legal blog, BabyBarista, a fictional account of a junior barrister practising at the English Bar, in order to show how the author, a barrister and therefore a legal expert, tailors the discourse of the blog in such a way that it can be appreciated by insiders and outsiders alike.
