It is my sincere pleasure to announce that the closing keynote of the conference #W2D2017 Legal Translation to the Next Level will be delivered by Henry Liu, President of the International Federation of Translators and Special Advisor to the Chief Justice of New Zealand. His talk is entitled “The Case Against Plain Language“.

We are delighted and most grateful for the mark of support that this shows for the conference initiative.

Taking advantage of his presence in Europe, we have also enticed him to be involved in an extra pre-conference event entitled “Machine Translation and National Security“. It will precede the other two events at the same location, the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, and will be free of charge.
