From Words to Deeds: translation & the law

Monday smile – Le droit selon Star Trek

Although I’ve published this as a Monday smile, the recently published book entitled Le droit selon Star Trek actually makes serious points.

It has just won the Olivier Debouzy prize: “prix de l’agitateur des idées juridiques“.

A review (in French) can be found here, and you can watch an interview with the author here, on French regional television.

Fabrice Defferard explains how he researched and wrote the book, the philosophy behind it, and adds that it is intended for a wide audience – not only legal specialists.
