Law and Society Association Papers on Language & Law

Several weeks ago, I solicited an additional paper for 1 of 3
Language & Law sessions to be scheduled at the Annual Meeting of
the Law & Society Ass'n (Philadelphia May 28-31). I received a
number of excellent proposals or abstracts & then organized a 4th
session on Language and Law. I want to thank all who either
responded or told their friends and colleagues about the
sessions. Below I have listed the presenters and their titles.
All papers have been scheduled for the meeting; individuals will
receive official invitations soon. (Inquiries should be directed
