Description:
Learn the language of the law, without the legalese!
Open the average law dictionary and chances are you'll feel more confused than before you read a word. Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary is different. From "abrogate" to "zero tape", we've cut down on the Latin and defined common (and some not-so-common) terms you can really use to understand and access the law.
Set aside those dusty, outdated law dictionaries! Written for the 21st century, this essential reference contains complete definitions of the legal terms you need today.
If you're a law student, paralegal, accountant, small business owner or librarian -- anyone whose work or life touches the law -- this fully up-to-date A to Z guide puts access to the law into your hands.
Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary contains 3,800 plain-English legal definitions, including many newly coined terms you'll find online and off, such as "typosquatting" and "patent troll".
Of course, if you need definitions for legal standards -- even when they're in Latin -- you'll find those here too. Plus, find a copy of the Constitution of the United States of America for your reference in the pages following the complete list of definitions.
Paralegals and legal assistants held approximately 238,000 jobs in 2006, and employment in these fields is expected to grow 22% between 2006 and 2016. Additionally, more than 150,000 students were enrolled in law school for academic year 2007-2008.
Nolo, the nation's oldest and most respected provider of legal information for consumers and small businesses, now offers students, paralegals, accountants--and anyone whose work or life touches on the law--a complete and up-to-date legal dictionary.
Containing all of the newly minted terms including "patent troll", "typosquatting" and "pet trust", the book will earn a rapid and reliable spot on the shelves of libraries and non lawyers everywhere.
