Resolving International Conflicts
Dedicated to Tibor Vrady. Focuses on international private law and international arbitration.
People in Spite of History
Three generations of a family of lawyers have run a firm founded in 1893 in the small city of Becskerek (today in Serbian Zrenjanin), first part of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg monarchy, then Hungary, then Yugoslavia, then for a while under German occupation, then again part of Yugoslavia and finally Serbia. In the Banat district of the province of Vojvodina, the multiplicity of languages and religions and changes of place-names was a matter of course. What is practically unprecedented, all files, folders and documents of the law office have survived. They concern marriages, divorces, births and testaments, as well as expulsions, emigrations, incarcerations and releases of these largely rur...
Language and Translation in International Commercial Arbitration
Anyone who has acted as arbitrator or counsel in an arbitration in which more than one language was used, sat as judge on an international court that had more than one working language, or served on a drafting committee of a multi language treaty knows how many unexpected complications, both procedural and substantive, the 'language issue' can create. And the problems that arise in that context are not limited to those that relate to the choice of the most appro priate translation of a particular word or that arise from a later discovered trans lation error. Although finding the most appropriate translation for a given word or phrase to be used when drafting legal documents intended to be eq...
Language and Translation in International Commercial Arbitration
With a foreword by Judge Thomas Buergenthal, International Court of Justice The present book is the first book-length monograph addressing practically all language issues likely to arise throughout the arbitration process and post-arbitration proceedings. International Commercial Arbitration is a transcultural venture and the need to bridge language differences is a part of the process. There are more and more cases in which procedural or alleged procedural deficiencies pertaining to language emerge as an issue with unforeseen and costly consequences. The author presents a comprehensive survey of questions related to language and translation in (post-)arbitral proceedings. The issues are sys...
Language, a Right and a Resource
"This study broadens our knowledge of the important role of language in minority rights and in social and political struggles for LHRs. Exploring the interactions of linguistic diversity, biodiversity, the free market and human rights, the contributors present case studies to highlight such issues as Kurdish satellite TV attempting to create a virtual state on the air through trying to achieve basic LHRs for Kurds in Turkey; the implementation of LHRs in the Baltic states; language rights activism in Canada; the spread of English as an international language; and the obstacles met in education by Roma and the Deaf in Hungary because of lack of appropriate LHRs." "Language: A Right and a Resource is a multi-disciplinary text which can be used in a variety of different areas of study in the legal profession, linguistics, cultural and political studies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Law and Language
Completed in 1964, Harold J. Berman's long-lost tract shows how properly negotiated, translated and formalised legal language is essential to fostering peace and understanding within local and international communities. Exemplifying interdisciplinary and comparative legal scholarship long before they were fashionable, it is a fascinating prequel to Berman's monumental Law and Revolution series. It also anticipates many of the main themes of the modern movements of law, language and ethics. In his Introduction, John Witte, Jr, a student and colleague of Berman, contextualises the text within the development of Berman's legal thought and in the evolution of interdisciplinary legal studies. He has also pieced together some of the missing sections from Berman's other early writings and provided notes and critical apparatus throughout. An Afterword by Tibor Várady, another student and colleague of Berman, illustrates via modern cases the wisdom and utility of Berman's theories of law, language and community.
