    Our association - The International Round Tables for the Semiotics of Law : The International Round Table for the Semiotics of Law is concerned with the application of different forms of textual analysis to the discourses of the law.

    This includes: - the semiotics of Greimas, Peirce and Lacan, - rhetoric, - philosophy of language, - pragmatics, - sociolinguistics, - deconstructionism, as well as - more traditional legal philosophical approaches to the language of the law.

    The organization also sponsors the quarterly journal, the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law (http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0952-8059/current)

    Our organization has been recently formed (2001) by the merging of the International Association for the Semiotics of Law and the Roundtable for the Semiotics of Law.
