Introduction to Corpus Linguistic Applications to Law Workshop

The 9th Annual Law & Corpus Linguistics Conference hosted by the BYU (Brigham Young University) J. Reuben Clark Law School is excited to be offering a workshop for any attending linguists on Thursday, October 24th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm (MDT). This workshop will be led by law faculty and linguists and is meant to give an introduction to the field of law as well as describe issues that those in the legal field often encounter that corpus linguistics has been or could be used to address. We would like to make a special invitation particularly to any graduate students or early career scholars who are interested in applying linguistics in addressing legal issues, especially issues related to statutory interpretation.

This workshop is a free workshop. A catered lunch will also be provided to any attendees immediately following the workshop. We hope that you will consider attending this highly meaningful educational opportunity.

The Travel Reimbursement Application submission will include a brief letter describing the individual’s needs and nature of contributions to the 2024 conference.
