Legal Dictionaries and Lexicons
Friday, June 9, 2023, 9:00 - 17:00 (EST)
For the 17th Institute of Jurilinguistics, the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law and the three other Canadian centres of jurilinguistics — the Centre for Legal Translation and Documentation (Ottawa), the Centre de traduction et de terminologie juridiques (Moncton) and the Centre de ressources en français juridique (Saint-Boniface) — are pleased to present the event entitled: Legal Dictionaries and Lexicons.
The 17th edition marks the return of this annual event to Montréal. The event coincides with the completion of the Crépeau Centre's extensive work on the Private Law Dictionary and Bilingual Lexicons - Successions. As we prepare for the upcoming publication of the Dictionary, we are compelled to contemplate the challenges associated with creating legal dictionaries and lexicons and to reflect on how legislative drafters, jurists, jurilinguists, translators, and even judges utilize them in their daily work. Of particular interest are the issues surrounding accessibility and proficiency in legal vocabulary, as well as the creation of a common language in multilingual and plurijuridical contexts. This discussion encompasses both national perspectives, such as Canada's bilingual and bijural context, as well as international perspectives.
This event has been accredited by the Barreau du Québec for a 5-hour training. We will also be happy to certify the participation of notaries and members of the Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec.
Please note that registration is mandatory and costs $85 (55$ for students), which covers a light breakfast, coffee breaks, lunch, and the cocktail. You may register by clicking on the following link.
