Meeting Description:

It is a fact that the law pervades many aspects of our lives and the
use and function of its language constitute the essentials on which
the precepts of law itself are established. The interconnection
between law and language provides a continuous source of analytical
insights for researchers working in a variety of disciplines. It also
gives us an opportunity to refine our current understanding of
language and law from an interdisciplinary perspective.

As part of its commitment to research in the field of language and
law, the Faculty of Law of the Seconda Università degli Studi di
Napoli (University of Naples 2) is pleased to announce its first
