Propostes de recerca en traducció jurídica: camins per construir [Research Suggestions in the Field of Legal Translation: Paths Still to Walk On]

Legal translation has found a prominent place in the degree programmes at the different Spanish universities. Step by step, the interest raised in trainers and trainees is finding a place also in research. This paper tries to offer a modest contribution to this development by posing possibilities and suggestions which my raise the interest of those making their way into translation research. The paper draws a wide range of research possibilities in legal translation through questions which may awake interest in solving problems of different significance trying to promote new studies based on the researcher’s own interests. Some current research (regarding both dominant methologies and approaches) is also introduced and within this framework some topics are highlighted for their relevance to legal translation. As a tool for those with an interest in starting their own research in legal translation and interpreting in the near future some basic references are given.
