English Legal System: Conference

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Conference :

1. A meeting of members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons appointed to attempt to reach agreement when one House objects to amendments made to one of its Bills by the other.

2. A meeting between counsel and a solicitor to discuss a case in which they are engaged. Conferences usually take place at counsel’s chambers. If the barrister involved is a QC, the meeting is called a consultatio

Legal Usage of Conference in English

An European Commission document offers the following explanation about the misused of Conference:In-house terminology uses ‘conference’ to refer to a simple talk or lecture, where one speaker comes to impart his knowledge on a given subject. In English, a conference is ‘a highlevel meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion with a number of speakers, often lasting several days’, like the Kyoto conference, or in the legal context, a one-to-one meeting between a barrister and his client. In the example below, an outside reader would have understood that the medical service had invited a number of experts (doctors, researchers, universi
ty lecturers and politicians) to discuss the problem of infectious diseases and that one of them, Dr Arendt, would be taking questions. In fact, there was just Dr Arendt and he was giving a talk. Generally speaking, in the European Union institutions, it is often very difficult to work out for what sort of training event one is applying.

Example

‘In this context, and in response to the concerns expressed by a number of colleagues, the Medical Service is organizing a conference on Tuesday 12 October… A specialist doctor, M. Vic Arendt, will answer any of your questions52.’

Alternatives

talk, lecture, presentation.
