Updated to reflect recent modifications in federal and state
law, this book is a quick-reference source for lawyers, law students,
legal professionals, and interested laypersons. The author defines more
than 5,000 legal terms, using nontechnical language that remains legally
accurate. Terms are documented with citations and apply to civil
procedure, commercial and contract law, constitutional law, criminal
law, property law, and torts. This is a "mass-market-size" paperback.
This Law Dictionary is also available from Barron's in a trade
edition that features larger pages with large type.
