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 international workshop The Language
of Law - pulling together different strands and disciplines, to be held in Santa
Maria Capua Vetere, Caserta, Italy in June 2010. 

Call for Papers

The Law Faculty of the Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli (University of
Naples 2) - Department of Legal Sciences - English Language Chair - is hosting
its first international workshop to bring together linguists, legal scholars and
practitioners, to explore the issues of language in the law in English and other
European and non-European languages, cultures and systems. We therefore invite
colleagues to submit papers on theoretical and applied perspectives of language
in a variety of areas of law (civil, criminal, administrative,
European/international), in academic, professional and institutional contexts.
Papers may address aspects of language and law, also from an interdisciplinary
perspective, on any of the following broad theme areas:
- legal discourse and genre, including ethnographic or corpus-based analyses of
legal discourse in the media
- power relations and ideology in the law
- cross-cultural legal communication
- pedagogy of legal language (LSP, ESP, EAP)
- legal translation and interpreting
- forensic linguistics
- plain language and the law 
- other

Presentation: Guidelines 
Papers will be allotted 20 minutes, plus 5-10 minutes each for discussion at the
end of the part-session.

Working Language: English

Contributors are invited to send an anonymous abstract in MS Word (12pt) of not
more than 300 words (excluding references) by no later than 15st December 2009
