In this paper, we investigate picture-text cooperation in lettering that explains the figures of selected scientific articles in the legal domain. As samples, we survey the structured diagrams, including the logical pictures, from JURIX papers. We see the need for picture-text cooperation in the joint work of engineers and jurists. A motive is that engineers think structurally, whereas jurists think textually. However, we see no uniform framework for picture-text cooperation in legal visualizations. Therefore, this is a subject for discussion. We hold that a unified visual notation, strict compositional rules and strict visual semantics in law are not easy to achieve. Here, semi-formal representations are stronger, because representing legal meaning is a problem. However, more formal visual notations could contribute toward the creation of logical pictures.
