Goals and Scope

Official Title: THE ROBERTA KEVELSON SEMINAR ON LAW AND SEMIOTICS, the Dickinson School of Law, the Pennsylvania State University in Carlisle and State College, PA. USA.

The Seminar is established and directed by Professor Jan M. Broekman, PHD, Professor Law and Philosophy and Dean Emeritus Faculty of Law, University of Leuven (Belgium) and Distinguished Visiting Professor, Dickinson School of Law.

The Seminar provides a study of Legal Semiotics in Legal Education with an introduction to the main theories of legal semiotics, analyses of jurisprudence and legal cases and a discussion of the major philosophical components of law. Its goal is a heightened awareness of the semiotic components in the professional behavior of lawyers. The Seminar, which is open to students and faculty, contributes to the realization of this goal during one semester in every academic year and is concluded with a one-day Round Table presentation. Final Seminar papers of students can be read during that Round Table.
