Multilingual Law-Making: A Discussion with Karen McAuliffe

Alexandra Grey speaks with Karen McAuliffe about multilingual law-making. Karen is a Professor of Law and Language at Birmingham Law School in the UK. The conversation is about the important legal opinions delivered by the Advocates General at the European Court of Justice, and the effects of Advocates General drafting those opinions in their second or third language and with multilingual support staff. It builds on a chapter written by Karen McAuliffe, Liana Muntean & Virginia Mattioli in the book Researching the European Court of Justice, edited by Madsen, Nicola and Vauchez and published by Cambridge University Press in 2022.
