Tilburg Law Review, Special issue: Translating Law, Now Available @TilburgLaw @tilburglawrev

From the mailbox: The Tilburg Law Review, volume 22 (2017), is now available. It is a double issue, on the theme of Translating Law.

This special issue seeks to continue the legacy of Willem Witteveen, a professor of jurisprudence at Tilburg Law School who tragically passed away in the MH17 disaster in Ukraine of July 2014. Willem Witteveen was an interdisciplinary scholar who created multiple spaces for law and humanities in and outside the Netherlands. The issue comprises of a collection of nine research articles exploring amongst others the translation of law across disciplines, the translation of legal languages and cultures and the right to translation. Together, the articles provide a broad pallet of essays on the theme Translating Law, hereby providing new and thought-provoking insights in the field. This issue also includes Tilburg Law School’s annual Montesquieu Lecture, held this year by the much distinguished Boaventura de Sousa Santos. In his lecture on ‘The Resilience of Abyssal Exclusions in Our Societies’, he stresses the pressing need to move toward a post-abyssal law. Both the Montesquieu lecture as well as two accompanying responses are freely accessible online.

The editors also announce that beginning in 2018 TiLR will be an open-access journal. All new issues as well as the five latest volumes will be freely available.
