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.
