Call for Papers
The eighth International Legal Linguistics Workshop (ILLWS25) will be held in
Rijeka, Croatia, from 17 July to 18 July 2025 and co-hosted by the Austrian Association
for Legal Linguistics (AALL), the Faculty of Law and the Institute of Democracy, Social
Justice, and Sustainable Development at the University of Rijeka.
The focus of the workshop is on:
“Law and Language in the Past, Present, and Future:
Local, Regional, and Global Perspectives”
It will primarily address, but is not limited to, questions such as:
(1) How can critical legal linguistics contribute to addressing and critiquing historical
injustices?
(2) How does the history of legal language use influence current legal (language)
practices and education today?
(3) How may the interconnectedness of globalisation influence norm-setting,
interpretation and application of legal language across jurisdictions?
(4) How do conflicts in and around law affect the future of democracy and the rule of
legal language?
(5) How may legal linguistics foster or disrupt exchange and understanding between
different legal systems and cultures?
(6) How can critical approaches to law and language contribute to the implementation
of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)?
(7) Can legal linguistics improve the translation of concepts across legal systems in
highly diverse multilingual, multicultural and multitechnological contexts? If so,
how?
