The Discourse and Law Research Laboratory (LIDiD) at the Centre of Discourse Studies is an interdisciplinary initiative dedicated to fostering critical research into legal practice from the perspective of Discourse Studies. Its aim is to comprehend the nature of legal discourse, how it generates meaning, influences legal decisions, and defines modes of interaction between legal professionals and society. This approach facilitates the identification of tensions, biases, and potentialities within contemporary legal culture.
Proposing a dialogue between theory and practice, LIDiD seeks to enhance the critical analysis of legal discourse and enable the development of proposals with genuine practical relevance and real-world applicability.
