Magna Carta
Last week, a one-off three-day event entitled The Global Law Summit (GLS) was held in London, UK, to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta.
The Global Law Summit brought together 2,000 leaders in law, business, government and academia from all around the world.
As part of the Language Show Live, to be held at Olympia, London, UK, from 18-20 October 2013, there are a number of free seminars that might be of interest to you.
There will of course be a number of exhibitors to visit too, including professional bodies, translation companies, publishers, the European Commission, educational institutions…
Here is the second part of my report from the recent Qualetra conference held in London (see here for part 1).
The Translating Division of the Chartered Institute of Linguists is organizing a Legal Translation Conference on Friday 28 June 2013 in London, UK, from 10.00 to 16.15 (registration from 09.30).
This full-day seminar is being generously supported by the European Commission Representation in the UK and will be held at its conference centre in central London.
The UK’s Association of Police and Court Interpreters (APCI) is organizing its first international conference, as well as hosting the 3rd General Assembly of the European Legal Interpreters and Translators Association (EULITA). The conference is to be held in London, at Canary Wharf from 5-6 April 2013. There will be pre-conference drinks the evening before.
2013 is the year in which Directive 2010/64/EU on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings is due to be transposed into the domestic legislation of all 27 Member States. The conference will discuss the theme “Challenges to professional translation and interpreting in the justice sector“. More details can found on the conference website.
Registration for the conference is now open. The organizers say that if you register by 28 February 2013 you will benefit from a significant discount on the standard price – see the Registration page.
