This work presents the basic legal terminology used in the English
language with equivalent terms from German, principally, and French
secondarily: that is because the French term is often some cognate
to English. The dictionary includes definitions in English for
most, not all terms because sometimes a simple synonym suffices or
the concept is obvious on sight, at least to someone with at least
the training of a paralegal. Latin and Italian terms are also
occasionally represented as well. The Translator's Law Dictionary
will be useful to legal translators, comparative lawyers, and
internationally active law firms as well as other scholars of
comparative and international law. While no multilingual law
dictionary authored by one person in one lifetime could ever hope
to be complete, this dictionary tries to present all the basics in
current legal usage in the English language and equivalent concepts
and terms from German and French. This dictionary has focussed on
the procedural and substantive facts of law, the indisipensible
structural framework to any deeper discussion of the law. As well
as the basics of law, this law has tried to present the essentials
of commercial law: contracts, torts, corporations, and taxation.
Obscure and ancient legal concepts and esoteric theoretical
concepts are not discussed here, for such are rarely, if ever, used
in practice. Rather, this works presents a well rounded, and
reasonably complete exposition of the basic legal terminology of
the worlds greatest legal systems as part of the construction of
the globalization of the rule of law. Thus, while practical and
focussed, the work also has some hopeful utility for visionaries,
enabling jurists to anchor their concepts into new legal systems
they will discover in the pages of this work.
