Written in clear, jargon-free language, this dictionary is ideal for those without a legal qualification who nevertheless need some legal knowledge. It is also a useful reference book for lawyers, students, and secretaries in the UK or any Commonwealth country where the legal system is founded on English law.
Entries define and explain the major terms, concepts, processes, and organization of the law. Entries on such fast-moving areas of European law, the Internet, world trade, divorce law, local government, property law, consumer and data protection, and criminal law, are concise, useful, and up to date.
