The theme of the seventh Summer Institute of Jurilinguistic s – 'Word Games: Translating. Writing. Thinking Law' – is an invitation to ponder from multiple perspectives the importance of properly translating\ , writing and thinking law\, the means used to do so\, as well as the diff iculties inherent to such an undertaking. See the full programme. UPDATE: we regret that registrations are now closed.  Law is an exercise in comm unication\, and like all communication\, it has its constraints and subtle ties. The multiplicity of actors and of their potentially divergent intere sts can on occasion be a hindrance to the transmission of a legal message. As such\, lawyers\, judges and translators\, not to mention justice seek ers\, politicians and other legal actors\, are constantly confronted with the particularities and limits of legal language. Accepting that legislato rs do not simply talk for the sake of talking\, we are sometimes faced wit h the constraints of language when it comes time to translate or interpret law. How\, then\, do we make choices\, write and translate to ensure law’ s clarity and precision\, all the while leaving room for judicial interpre tation? This seventh Summer Institute of Jurilinguistics will be an occas ion to reflect on the place of words in law\, a subject of particular rele vance in a country that is home to more than one language and more than on e legal tradition\, and especially in a global context in which legal lang uage is increasingly of interest.
