University of Silesia in Katowice

On May 28, 2026, we had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Brandon Waldon from the University of South Carolina.

During the seminar “Linguistics & Textualism” and the lecture “Large Language Models for Legal Interpretation? Don’t Take Their Word for It,” Prof. Waldon introduced participants to the commonalities between linguistics, the philosophy of language, and legal interpretation.

A key part of the events was a discussion of the potential and technological barriers associated with the use of large language models (LLMs) in the analysis and interpretation of legal texts.
