The International Language and Law Association brings together Legal Linguists working all over world in one place.
Below, we publish a list of current ILLA members including contact data and special subjects of research on language and law.
With the relaunch of the society we plan to restructure the membership conditions as following: Everyone interested in Language and Law can become a member at ILLA from now on. Members will be documented online at the ILLA-Homepage. Members have to renew their membership every two years: they have to attend the ILLA-Conference and pay a small contribution (€40) for two years, which is included in the conference fee. Members who are unable or unwilling to attend the conference but want to continue their membership will have to make a donation (€40) for two years at least until the day before the conference begins. The next deadline for paying the donation is therefore September 6th, 2017. Please transfer the donation to the following bank account: Recipient: Universitätskasse Freiburg Individuals not joining the conference and not offering a donation within two years will be deleted. I agree with the publishing of the data above at illa.online. In case of any questions feel free to contact us. Anesa, Patrizia Arturo, Paula M.
