Bridging the Gap? Legal Language and Comprehension
Dr Jeanne Mifsud Bonnici will be giving the paper during another of
the Work in Progress Seminars on Wednesday 1 March - Bridging the Gap?
Legal Language and Comprehension. It will be at the Lecture Centre,
University of Malta, Room 118, 5.30 pm, followed by drinks. The public
is welcome. Dr. Mifsud Bonnici is a graduate of the Universities
of Malta and Birmingham. She lectures on law and language
in the Faculty of Laws, University of Malta. The Wednesday paper is part
of her research on the legibility of Maltese Laws. She will be exploring
examples from current law in order to answer the question - is legal
language obscure and archaic? She will also examine the Myth of Precision
often used by lawyers to justify legal language.
