The Department of Sciences and Humanities at FAST-NUCES Lahore Campus hosted an engaging Doctoral Symposium on Forensic Linguistics on December 1, 2025, at the Library Conference Hall. Our PhD scholars brilliantly decoded justice through language, unpacking how words, structures, and silences shape legal meaning, power, and truth. From courtroom discourse to digital communication, the symposium showcased diverse research exploring how forensic linguistics bridges language and law in Pakistan and beyond. The presentations illuminated the biases, strategies, and ideologies embedded in legal and social texts—revealing how language actively constructs our perception of justice. A powerful gathering of ideas, insight, and scholarly rigor. Together, we continue shaping the future of forensic linguistics.An interactive Q&A concluded the event, leaving participants with a deeper appreciation of how diverse forms of linguistic evidence and discourse practices shape legal interpretation and social justice in Pakistan and beyond.
