Conference Information
Our 10th annual conference will be held on Friday, October 24, 2025, at Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School in Provo, Utah.
The keynote address, “Ordinary Meaning and the Supreme Court: How to determine it and how faithful the Court is to it,” will be delivered by Abbe Gluck, the Alfred M. Rankin Professor of Law at Yale Law School.
BYU (Brigham Young University) J. Reuben Clark Law School is excited to be offering a workshop for any attending linguists on Thursday, October 23rd from 1:00 pm to 4:00 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 is a free workshop. A catered lunch will also be provided to any attendees immediately prior to the workshop. We hope that you will consider attending this highly meaningful educational opportunity.
