9th Summer Institute of Jurilinguistics - Legal Lexicography

On behalf of all members of the Network of Jurilinguistics Centres, the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law invites you to take part in this unique annual event.

For its ninth edition, the Summer Institute of Jurilinguistics will focus on the topic of legal lexicography. Registration is open!

Dictionaries identify, translate and define: they are key witnesses in the evolution of legal vocabulary. Dictionaries bring to light both practical and theoretical issues with regards to the accessibility of legal words. They are at the heart of our reflections as we search for a common language in a multilingual and legally pluralistic context. For these reasons, the place and purpose of dictionaries as major tools of legal knowledge will be the guiding theme of the day. Usage and methodology will be discussed through national and international perspectives.

Presentations will be divided between plenary sessions and parallel workshops. Program and summaries of the presentations are available on our web page. Kindly note that this event takes place exclusively in French.

The event is accredited as mandatory continuing legal education with the Barreau du Québec (5.5 hours).
