If learning legal terminology were as simple as memorizing words,
all you would need is a dictionary. But, merely memorizing
definitions takes inordinate time, hard work, and in the end, still
teaches you little about comprehending and retaining this new
language. If you understand the nature of the legal terms and how
they equate to ordinary legal situations, you will learn the
terminology in a faster and more engaging way, and most importantly
retain that knowledge far longer. Such learning requires the
following strategies: charts comparing words whenever two terms
have confusing similarities, organizing words under common legal
concepts, and including interesting supplementary material (such as
how attorneys evaluate an automobile case to determine how much it
is worth, or who gets to keep the wedding ring if the marriage is
called off). Cumulatively these learning strategies make legal
terminology come alive. The purpose of learning legal terms is not
for you to memorize the words for a test and forget them two days
later. Rather, it is the ability to study the words in proper
context so that you have a deep and sustainable understanding of
the terms five years later. The goal of this book is to make
learning more obtainable, and to create a platform for long-term
recall for court reporters, paralegals, and anyone who wishes to
understand legal terminology. As B. M. Dickey, Chair of Court
Reporting for one of the Community Colleges said: "Infrequently you
run across a truly superior textbook, that makes the teacher's job
much easier, and is so naturally suited to the students and their
needs, that you can't wait to tell others about your find. Legal
Terminology and Theory for Court Reporters and Paralegals by Ted H.
Gordon is just such a book. It is well written, comprehensive,
logically organized, and extremely well received by students."
