Meeting Description:

ILLA (International Language and Law Association) 2021 Focus Conference: 
The Digitalisation of Legal Discourse: Digital Genres, Media and Analytical
Tools
16-17 December, 2021
Venue: University of Bergamo, Piazza Rosate 2, Bergamo, Italy + online
(BLENDED)

The conference is currently planned as a BLENDED event (both in Bergamo and
online) 

Digitalisation is changing the system of law profoundly, and jurisprudence is
inevitably evolving in a digital environment (Boehme-Neßler, 2008). This
process represents not only a challenge, but also a potential way for the law
to revitalise itself in terms of
accessibility. In this respect, scholarly investigation should focus on two
key aspects of the digitalization of law: (1) observing how new technology is
redefining the manner in which legal services are offered, and (2) discussing
to what degree new digital genres and media, whether considered from a
linguistic, communicative, or legal perspective, are becoming critically
important for both the fulfillment of justice and the understanding of law on
the part of the public at large. Thus, the analysis of digital legal practices
as social action opens up a series of questions: How do the exigencies of
internet technology interplay with the constraints of established
legilinguistic conventions? To what extent are the formalities of legal
language preserved in ''new'' genres and media such as forums, blogs, or
social networking sites? How do the demands of these practices, such as the
need to attract and maintain an audience, influence the processes of knowledge
popularisation and dissemination?

This Focus Conference aims to provide a forum for discussion for the
investigation of Legal Discourse from a digital humanities’ perspective. It
also aims to create opportunities for an integration of the work of the
linguists, computer scientists, and legal scholars who focus on analysis of
the processes related to the digitalisation of law and its popularisation in
''new'' genres and media.

The Conference provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers,
practitioners, and educators to present the most recent innovations, trends,
and concerns, as well as any solutions already adopted in their professional
areas. Their insights will converge in a truly multidisciplinary effort to
devise and build advanced networks of knowledge to facilitate  the
interpretation of data in the field of legal linguistics with a specific focus
on digitalisation processes which concern legal discourse.

Invited Speakers:
Jan Engberg, Aarhus University
Victoria Guillén Nieto, University of Alicante
Dieter Stein, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf
