Our association - The International Round Tables for the Semiotics of
Law : The International Round Table for the Semiotics of Law is
concerned with the application of different forms of textual analysis
to the discourses of the law.

This includes:
- the semiotics of Greimas, Peirce and Lacan,
- rhetoric,
- philosophy of language,
- pragmatics,
- sociolinguistics,
- deconstructionism, as well as
- more traditional legal philosophical approaches to the language of
the law.

The organization also sponsors the quarterly journal, the
International Journal for the Semiotics of Law
(http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0952-8059/current)

Our organization has been recently formed (2001) by the merging of the
International Association for the Semiotics of Law and the Roundtable
for the Semiotics of Law.

Hosted by the
