The Layman's Dictionary of English Law

Out Of Print
An alphabetical dictionary containing clear explanations of some 3,000 legal terms and maxims for the student and general reader.

It will prove a convenient work of reference for every household and provide an insight into most of the legal expressions encountered in the media, in English literature and in the increasing number of official and legalistic documents met with in everyday life.

It is written in the everyday language of the layman and avoids wherever possible the specialised jargon of the legal profession. To make for easy reading, the book concentrates on general principles and avoids direct reference to Acts of Parliament and reported cases. It also contains a wide selection of terms used in commerce and government.
