Workshop for Legal Language Professionals 鈥� Concilier rigueur juridique et justesse linguistique
In this series of workshops, the Graduate Diploma in Legal Translation at 海角社区 invites you to discover different dimensions of professions at the crossroad of law and languages. We offer both introductory workshops to key professions, such as legal translation and court interpreting, as well as workshops on highly specialized issues that will better meet the needs of experienced jurilinguists.
This workshop will focus on the relationship between linguistic and legal competencies. Because of their vastly different educational backgrounds and work experience, legal professionals and language professionals tend to consult different sources, have different audiences in mind when drafting or translating, and pursue different鈥攂ut entirely compatible鈥攐bjectives. Is it possible to strike a balance between legal accuracy and linguistic precision? Using examples and exercises, the presenter will walk participants through different ways that legal language professionals can advance their linguistic arguments without compromising the accuracy of the legal content.
This initiative is supported by Justice Canada's Access to Justice in Both Official Languages Support Fund.
