Many translators have now come across the Japanese Law Translation
(JLT) s
ite www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp and found it useful when
translating
laws and other legal materials. But where did this site come from,
who developed it and why is it there? Is this one site sufficient in
itself
for a translator entering the field? And more importantly, what can be
expected
as the site develops in tandem with the flow of orders for legal
translations
from Japanese public bodies? Come for the answers to these questions
and to
give your own user feedback – which will go directly to the
site’s designers.



Carol Lawson is a lawyer who specializes in the translation of case
law and
legislation with one foot in academia: www.legalcommunicationsjapan.com.
She is currently undertaking a research fellowship at the Nagoya
University
Center for Asian Legal Exchange (CALE) from January to March 2010, as
part
of which she is assisting the Japan Legal Information Institute
(JaLII) team’s
efforts to improve the quality of the JLT tools.

Also coming soon, a networking event before IJET Miyazaki.

Yours
