The purpose of this paper is to propose a comprehension of the Critique of Law from the Critical Discourse Studies of Dutch linguist Teun A. van Dijk. In this sense, the relations between Law and Language are revisited, since van Dijk's critical studies also allow an update of this movement in its intersection with the Critique of Law. As for the methodology, a critical discussion was established from the knowledge shared by the interdisciplinary dialogue, while the research technique/method used for the present approach was bibliographic. It is understood that the articulation of van Dijk's ECD with the Criticism of Law can guide the initial guidelines of a current “Linguistic Critique of Law” that is consistent with the characteristics of contemporary society.
