Informal Roundtable Discussion: Law in Translation--Socio-Legal Scholars as Critical Intellectuals The morning roundtable will initiate our discussion of “law in translation.” After discussing how “law in translation” relates to their own work, the discussion facilitators will open up a discussion of the role of the socio-legal scholar in regard to “law in translation.” Questions include whether socio-legal scholars’ primary role is to observe or report on translations of legal discourse by “ordinary” people, or whether our role is, or should be, one of critical intellectual? How does “ translation” relate to, inform, or shape our teaching of undergraduate law and justice students?
