DESCRIPTION:\n\nLanguage can be a barrier to the justice system for people 
 living in plurilingual states. This roundtable will explore the relationsh
 ip between language\, language policy\, language standards\, translation a
 nd access to justice in an increasingly linguistically diverse world. It w
 ill tackle this relationship from both an intralingual and an interlingual
  perspective.\n\nIn terms of intralingual translation\, where and under wh
 ich conditions should complex legal language be converted into plain langu
 age to help people understand and exercise their rights? How does the exis
 tence of language varieties (e.g.\, different dialects of the Cree languag
 e) and standards affect access to justice?\n\nThe focus of the discussion 
 will then move to interlingual translation. Providing legal information to
  people in their language of choice is key not only to ensuring full acces
 s to the justice system\, but also to making case law more broadly availab
 le to legal professionals in other jurisdictions. In particular\, English 
 translations by the Société québécoise d’information juridique (SOQUIJ) of
  judgments rendered in French by Quebec courts will be discussed\, as will
  their impact on public legal literacy and the development of jurisprudenc
 e across the country.\n\nCome join us and our distinguished panel of exper
 ts on June 30 as we reflect on the role of linguistic diversity in the adm
 inistration of justice and the protection and advocacy of individual right
 s.\n\nGuest Speakers:\n\n- Rute Costa\, Associate Professor and Head of th
