About this title

From the Back Cover

This indispensable vade mecum to the specialised vocabulary of English Law is a popular choice with students and others whose work interacts with the world of law. Entries derive largely from the traditional core of legal studies – from contract, torts, criminal law, constitutional law, land law, trusts and equity, and jurisprudence – but also from the fields of European Community law, family law, legal history, evidence and procedure.
Entries are substantial and are often enhanced by statutory definitions, judicial pronouncements and maxims, extracted from law reports, statutes and other branches of legal literature. They are also fully referenced, making follow-up in more-detailed information sources much easier.
