Claims-making is a key concept in constructionist studies on social problems. This concept makes it possible to see both social problems and legal phenomena as process-achievements within a sequence of situated activities. From this claims-making perspective, this paper proposes a few research topics. One of those is a "translation" problem. A various "social problem" claims and "everyday" claims are inevitably "translated" into legal claims when they move into legal arena. What various parties, including legal and other experts, do when the "translation" is taking place is an important question, both theoretically and practically.
