35 Int'l J. Semiotics L. 1 (2022)

handle is hein.journals/intjsemi35 and id is 1 raw text is: Int J Semiot Law (2022) 35:1-2 https://doi.org/1 0.1007/si 1196-021-09868-0 The Limits of Law: Foreword J. M. Aroso Linhares' Ana Margarida Gaudenciol . Ines Godinho © Springer Nature B.V. 2021 The title of this Special Issue (The Limits of Law) comes directly from the 20th International Roundtable for the Semiotics of Law (IRSL 2019) which took place at the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra between the 23rd and the 25th May 2019, jointly organized by UCILeR (Instituto Juridico da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra-University of Coimbra Institute for Legal Research) and ATFD (Associagao Portuguesa de Teoria do Direito, Filosofia do Direito e Filosofia Social, the Portuguese section of IVR) . This was indeed a memorable scientific meeting, with an exceptionally large number of participants and what follows is just a first ensemble of representative essays, proposed as extended or reviewed versions of working papers presented in Coimbra. Bearing in mind the dimension of the 20th Roundtable (with more than fifty paper presentations) and its remarkable plurality (with interlocutors from more than twenty countries)-see Book of Abstracts (https://www.uc.pt/fduc/ij/eventos/ 2019/abstracts.pdf)-, the contribution represented here is only a short selection, and in this sense always a frustrating one. This frustration will, however, be partially mitigated, thanks to the forthcoming publication of a monographic volume, entitled Exploring the Boundaries of Law, which is expected to consist entirely of another sequence of those papers. Both the organization of the Roundtable and the coordination of the present issue were developed as activities of UCILeR (University of Coimbra Institute for Legal Research), being as such prepared within the framework of the following research projects (financed by the Portuguese FCT- Fundagao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia): Societal Challenges, Uncertainty and Law: Plurality I Vulnerability I Undecidabil- ity (Projects I&D UID/DIR/04643/2019 and UIDB/04643/2020).
