Abstrakt: Abstract: This paper compares the state of Czech legal order before and after the reform of the Private law. The analysis is based on the linguistic investigation of corpora containing legal texts. We analyze two corpora of Czech legal texts and show the relation between the changes (amendments and modifications) in the wording of law acts and their transparency. Our work explores changes on the level of words, collocations and legal terms. The tools used in this research are the corpus manager Manatee/Bonito with integrated Word Sketch Engine and Czech morphological analyzer Majka. Our results thus obtained lead us to conclude that the functionality of the Czech legal system is under threat from its own opacity and obfuscation.
