False Friends in Spanish-English Legal Translation: This blog post is short and sweet, but underscores that in legal contexts inhibition and “inhibición” are true false friends. rebeccajowers.com/2024/09/25/fal…

ES-EN Legal Translation: Multiple Meanings of "Remand" rebeccajowers.com/2024/09/09/es-…

Hi, I’ll be giving an AST (Advanced Skills & Training) session at the ATA's annual conference on Oct. 30. For those who might be interested in attending, here's an outline of the aspects of "Derecho Penal" that we'll be discussing. rebeccajowers.com/2024/09/03/tra…

False Friends in ES-EN Legal Translation: "legitimación" vs. legitimation rebeccajowers.com/2024/08/27/fal…

@marianovitetta @PaoloSandro2 @IntermarkLS In this context (the theories of Farrajoli), both guaranteeism and guarantism appear equally acceptable. I base this on my admittedly unscientific googling in which “Ferrajoli” accompanied by “guaranteeism” gets 756 hits, while “Ferrajoli” coupled with “guarantism” gets 789 hits.

@ES_ENLegalTrans @PaoloSandro2 @IntermarkLS Exactly. It’s a neologism. The base word is “guarantees”. What do you think is better in English? “Garantism” or “guaranteeism”?

@marianovitetta @PaoloSandro2 @IntermarkLS Isn't "guarantism" the English rendering of Luigi Ferrajoli's "garantismo"? google.com/url?sa=t&sourc…

@PaoloSandro2 What do you make of "guarantism", @IntermarkLS and @ES_ENLegalTrans?

@anglopremier @IntermarkLS I had to check this with a Costa Rican lawyer friend: he said that, en efecto, "ley de cita" means "ley citada" and can be translated as "aformentioned law," but when "de cita" is used, there is usually an actual "cita" in a footnote. Hope this makes sense.

New phrase of the day: Costa Rican legislation often uses "ley de cita" (or "artículo de cita"). Not finding it in any dictionaries, but from what I can tell, it's another way of saying "aforementioned". One for your next editions, @ES_ENLegalTrans and @IntermarkLS?

@ES_ENLegalTrans Very interesting. Do you know what the various acronyms in each book stand for? UP, TE, TG, TR, etc.
