Ni existe ni siquiera un tratado internacional universal dedicado extensamente a los derechos lingüísticos. Este artículo presenta los resultados del análisis de tratados universales y regionales seleccionados, que contienen disposiciones para la protección de los derechos lingüísticos, y tienen como objetivo extraer conclusiones sobre la efectivid...

Polish national legislation provides for little guidance on the processing of personal data for research purposes. Genetic testing and biobanking are partially regulated by several legal acts. However, rules regarding the institution of a biobank or the possibility of obtaining a permit for this type of activity are quite precise. Processing for ar...

Austrian national legislation provides for a clear legal basis for the processing of personal data for research purposes, including special provisions on the processing of genetic data, biometric data and data concerning health. There are clear governance procedures and policies on the use and reuse of personal data. However, there is little guidan...

Biobanks raise great hopes for future research that can help understand many diseases and find ways to treat them. The purpose of the article is to study the legislative acts regulating the activities of biobanks in Poland and to formulate recommendations for improving the legal regulation of biobanking. For the purpose, tasks, object, and subject...

This collaborative essay addresses COVID-19 communication, focussing on the linguistic strategies and discursive constructions that were adopted, first to cope with the unprecedented crisis scenarios of the pandemic and later to hail the post-pandemic times. It recapitulates the unfolding of COVID-19 communication from 2020 to 2022, espousing a lin...

The application of the latest technologies in biology and medicine has brought them to a qualitatively new level of possibilities. Worldwide, biobanking is actively developing through the creation of biobanks of various types and purposes, whose resources are used to solve therapeutic or scientific problems. Legal science remains an open question c...

Even though metaphors might seem inappropriate to legal logical reasoning, they are quite a part of it. Although metaphor is non-literal and non-linear, nevertheless it is the essence of the modality of human thought. The way we think about law depends largely on metaphorical constructions. This means that we understand both the legal system as suc...

The interest of linguists in research findings from various fields of humanities and natural sciences is not waning. It has increased in recent years, inter alia, as a result of new ministerial regulations providing opportunities for more flexible evaluation of researchers and academic units. However, this interest stems primarily from the subject...

The concept of experimental logic of John Dewey assumes that creativity and subjectivity are the basis of a complex system of legal institutions. The aim of the article is to discuss this concept, to show its assumptions in relation to legal reasoning and to justify, based on this concept, an experimental approach to solving legal problems. A lawye...

Komunikacja prawnicza wiąże się z dwiema sferami kontaktów międzyludzkich. Z jednej strony można mówić o specyfice profesjonalnej komunikacji między prawnikami, a także o ich interakcjach: z klientami-laikami, osobami pełniącymi odpowiednie role w postępowaniach sądowych lub administracyjnych, a także z anonimowym odbiorcą porad prawnych w mediach...

Transnational legal communication seeks to identify transnational legal regimes and attempts to establish channels and technics for comprehensible communication of the legal information to specified groups of recipients. It also strives to conclude about possible inconsistencies in law. The approach is based on the cooperation of scientists within...

The paper summarised arguments and counterarguments on analysis of economic resilience. The bibliometric analysis on economic resilience using the software VOSviewer allowed identifying the four core scientific schools: R. Martin (University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom); A. Rose University of Southern California, Los Angeles, United Sta...

A lawyer who wants to go beyond matrix thinking must develop some mental and practical agility. Understanding and applying John Dewey's experimental logic is a way to achieve this agility. His concept of experimental logic assumes that creativity and subjectivity are the basis for the functioning of the complex system of legal institutions. It prov...

A work of translation shall be considered as a standalone literary work and shall be protected by copyright if it fulfils the criteria of protection. The translator shall be considered as a separate author. However, the translation constitutes a reproduction of the pre-existing source work, which by hypothesis can also be protected by copyright and...

The consistency of national and European Union law can be introduced and maintained not only through the enactment of legislation by the Union but also through the activity of national courts of the Member States and of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Both these categories are closely interlinked and affect each other deeply. The assimi...

Referendum, będące instytucją prawa krajowego, bywa przedmiotem zainteresowania prawa międzynarodowego publicznego wtedy, gdy – jak w przypadku referendum ogólnokrymskiego – wywiera skutki prawne nie tylko wewnątrz państwa, lecz również wpływa na jego sytuację międzynarodową. Celem niniejszych rozważań jest zbadanie, czy referendum ogólnokrymskie z...

The purpose of the paper is to expose current difficulties connected with education of legal translators and interpreters and to put forward a proposal for establishing an educational program to ensure the respective quality of service. It is pointed out that the translation is not only a linguistic activity and requires broad expertise in legal kn...

The status of international legal regulation on interstate relations in the Arctic is not impressive. This is due to the relatively short activity of states in this area, but also due to the lack of clear standards and the resulting necessity to applicate instruments of general nature. The other causation for this is the political and economic moti...
