DJC on tour
On March 20th 2026 Aleksandra Bodzioch, Wojciech Jasiński, Karolina Kremens and Kalina Romanowska had the opportunity to participate in the workshop “The Courtroom as a Linguistic Arena: Language, Law, and the Pursuit of Justice in Criminal Trials”, hosted by the TRUE Project at Swansea University Singleton Campus.
We’re thrilled to spotlight Aleksandra’s participation and presentation at the workshop:
- Aleksandra presented a working paper titled ““Do You Understand?” – Implementation of the Directive 2012/29/EU to the Victim’s Letter of Rights in Poland”, explaining how simple language should be implemented in legal communication with victims, giving examples of Polish Letter of Rights for victims and legal communication measures introduced in France.
About the Workshop: Organized by the TRUE Project, this one‑day interdisciplinary event, brought together scholars from law, linguistics, psychology, criminology, and computer science to explore how language shapes courtroom dynamics – covering topics like legal meaning‑making, questioning strategies, emerging AI tools, and digital evidence handling.
