Juridical and Legal terminology

YourTerm JURI aims to collect relevant terminology in the field of justice and legal terminology. It will serve as a valuable resource for the harmonisation of international terminology, as well as a reliable source of country-specific information on legal and normative systems.

The project on juridical and legal terminology has several sub-projects:

Migration and Refugees

Migration phenomena are reshaping the social, economic and cultural geography of many nations worldwide. This sub-project includes useful terminology dealing with refugees and migration-related issues.

Global Terrorism

Terrorism is one of the most delicate issues of our societies. As terrorist violence increases and becomes more and more diversified, multilingual glossaries on this topic may provide further support in dealing with it.

Disarmament Treaties

Disarmament International Treaties aim at reducing and eliminating the number of weapons in the armed forces of a country. This terminology material analyses the principles of international law and international agreements on weapons of mass destruction that are conveyed by technical and specialised terminology.

Intellectual Property

The creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols and images used in commerce, are covered by the umbrella term “Intellectual Property”, which aims at fostering an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. Considering its high value in today’s increasingly knowledge-based economy, companies are diligent when it comes to identifying and protecting intellectual property.
