The 2016 Global Legal Skills Conference (GLS-11) offers an opportunity to share best practices in international legal skills education, in the beautiful surroundings of Verona, Italy.
This year’s conference at the University of Verona Department of Law runs from Tuesday 24 May to Thursday 26 May 2016.
On Monday 13 July 2015, I attended a presentation at the Law Society, in London, UK, by Andrea Orlando, the Italian Minister of Justice, about the current reforms of the civil justice system in Italy.
A conference entitled “Theories, practices and instruments of forensic linguistics”, is being organized from 1-3 December 2014 jointly by the Sapienza University of Rome and the University Roma Tre.
The conference is an innovative mix of physical and virtual attendance.
The ImPLI (Improving Police and Legal Interpreting) project has made available 10 fact sheets describing the legal systems of Germany, Scotland, France, Italy and the Czech Republic.
The fact sheets are succinct and provide a good overview for reference. They can be downloaded from the project’s webpage.
This almost qualifies as a ‘Monday smiles‘ post, but sadly for Italians or anyone involved with or affected by the Italian legal system, it isn’t a joke.
Here are a few quotes from a Reuters news feed a few days ago. There is a link to the full article at the end of this post if you want to find out more. The bold emphasis is mine.
