This video has gone around the world, but I thought it was so good that it was worth including here – firstly if anyone has missed it, and secondly to keep in our archive so that anyone needing a smile can always find it!

Compendium of journals on Legal Translation & Interpreting / Language & Law
Below is an updated list of journals that publish articles about legal translation and legal interpreting or more generally about language and law.
In keeping with the field of translation, the journals listed below include papers in a variety of languages.
Of course, relevant papers may also be found in other journals dealing with other related topics such as corpus linguistics, lexicography, terminology, international business studies, and so forth. Conference proceedings may also contain articles of interest, as may publications by professional bodies such as translators’ or lawyers’ associations. Institutions also make available publications from time to time. There are also online magazines covering language issues, e.g. Slator or Babel, and covering the law e.g. ABA Journal or Lexology.
Please feel free to write in with others that you feel are worth sharing.
Call for Guest Posts
Hello everybody!
As you know, this blog features Guest Posts from time to time, so I’d like to remind you all that you are most welcome to submit your ideas.
It would be lovely to give a voice to some of my loyal readers – and new ones too of course.
My only criterion is that posts need to be within the scope of the blog – i.e. something connected with translation and the law. Posts do *not* need to be in English, au contraire !

Whatever it’s called in your country: “lockdown” (a military flavour), “confinement” (a prison flavour), or something else, many of us may find ourselves with more time to read than usual. So here’s a list of ideas – and do send in more so that we can make a Part 2 to this post!
