ABOUT EVENT

Between 5^th and 6^th of December 2024 the Faculty of Law of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Romania, in collaboration with the Directorate for Translation of the European Parliament, will organise the fourth edition of the international conference Legal translation – legal, linguistic, and technological challenges. This year’s edition will take place in hybrid form, at the Faculty of Law, and online, on the Microsoft Teams platform, and will welcome as keynote speaker Ms Veronique Rosenkranz, Director for Translation at the European Parliament.

 

The conference brings together translators, lawyer-linguists, and other professionals working in the field of legal translations, on one hand, and legal professionals and researchers in the fields of translation studies and law, on the other hand. Thus, the conference comprises a practical component, useful to translators and those interested in a career in this field, as well as a theoretical and scientific component, which seeks to integrate the experience of legal translation into the reflection and analysis of translation practice, taking into account the linguistic evolution on a national and European level, the cultural transfer, and the practical consequences in the legal field. This edition would also like to bring to the table the topic of AI and technologies employed for translating legal texts.
