Lapland Law Review
It is my pleasure to introduce the first issue of the Lapland Law Review, offered as a public service by the Faculty of Law of the University of Lapland. Hopefully the articles, commentaries and notes in the Review will have the widest appeal to all those interested in the law, whether as teachers, students, practitioners or judges, and provide an opportunity for them to keep abreast of the latest development in the field of law.
Season’s Greetings to all readers

About the first issue
The first issue of the Lapland Law Review Law and Language in Partnership and Conflict edited by Tarja Salmi-Tolonen, Iris Tukiainen and Richard Foley, is dedicated to Legal Linguistics.
In March 2010, the Chair of Legal Linguistics, the Legal Linguistics Association of Finland and the University of Lapland hosted a conference on legal linguistics in Rovaniemi. The event focused on law and language in international partnerships and conflicts. The chapters in this volume are extended contributions to the conference.
