Workshop "Challenges for Lawyers: How to Write a Research Text in English"

In the modern global world, the science is not limited by any state borders. However, some branches of science are more "nation-oriented" than others, which makes it difficult for a researcher to fully feel a part of the global academic community.

There are several challenges for researchers in law to make an "international" text, whether it is an article, a lecture, or a conference presentation. One of the challenges is the transmission of concepts and ideas that may be completely different in other countries.  When preparing a text in English, the author should be careful about legal terms.  Translation is often not the best strategy. 

How can we make a legal  text more "readable" and clear for the  international audience? How can we avoid literalism and share ideas, not just words?

We will try to find answers together during the seminar. We invite colleagues with  a wide experience of interventions and publications in foreign languages. Although no universal recipes or recommendations exist, you will probably have some useful ideas how to make your research more internationally-oriented.
