DESCRIPTION:In this series of workshops\, the Graduate Diploma in Legal Tra
 nslation at 9IÖĆ×÷ł§Ăâ·Ń invites you to discover different dimensions
  of professions at the crossroad of law and languages. We offer both intro
 ductory workshops to key professions\, such as legal translation and court
  interpreting\, as well as workshops on highly specialized issues that wil
 l better meet the needs of experienced jurilinguists.\n\nLegal translation
  stands apart from all other forms of translation in one key respect: it i
 s governed by the binding force of the law itself. In translating legal te
 xts such as acts\, regulations\, judgments and contracts\, translators mus
 t also contend with the specific challenges inherent to these documents. T
 he first of these challenges arises from the law and legal system itself. 
 Between English and French\, and vice versa\, we enter the realm of compar
 ative law\, in which two very different systems coexist. By nature\, the l
 egal translator is a comparatist\, obliged to render the law faithfully wi
 thin the framework of its own rules. The second challenge lies in the read
 ability and clarity of the target text. And the third and final challenge 
 resides in the form of the target text\, which varies between systems depe
 nding on the culture in question. This is especially true of the common la
 w–civil law pair\, with each system expressing\, sui generis\, its culture
  and its rules through writing. This mode of expression—whether verbose or
  concise—immediately signals to readers the distinctive nature of each leg
 al culture. These observations apply to the three main types of legal text
 s—acts\, judgments\, and contracts—each of which has its own distinctive f
 eatures. Our analysis focuses primarily on the act\, the “window on the la
 w\,” and on the translation process leading to the emergence of a Canadian
  legal language\, as revealed through the co-drafting of legislation.\n\nT
