Legal Terminology

ch4ck availability
This dictionary was conceived to provide both the professional and the non-professional user with basic legal terminology in the forever changing pattern of world politics and the internationalisation, globalisation, of legal issues. Terms were selected from internationally accepted and used sources: basic documents (important treaties, conventions, agreements, protocols, model laws, uniform practices, recommendations, reports, rules etc.), relevant legal concepts, such as the "lex mercatoria" (principles of international trade law), and generally accepted legal terms in international trade (such as the Incoterms). The following legal areas received special attention: accounting, administrative, banking, canon, civil, commercial, communication, contract, corporate, criminal, customs, disputes, economic, education, environment, European Union, family, financial, fiscal, history, industrial property, insurance, intermediaries in international trade (agent, distributor), international co-operation, international public, international trade, intellectual property, labour, legal professions, legislative, maritime, medical, military, penal, personal, private international, procedural, property, public, social, succession, tort, (international) trade, transport, and transfer of technology law.

Designed to provide really usable, authentic translations, the new Council of Europe French-English Legal Dictionary is unusually comprehensive both in geographical range (Belgian, Luxembourg & Swiss terms are included) & in subject-matter, giving idiomatic English equivalents of countless terms unobtainable or inaccurately translated elsewhere; non-legal terminology has been rigorously excluded. The result is an incomparable reference work containing some 11 000 entries, clearly set out & easy to consult.

This is a substantially revised and expanded edition of a Dictionary which first appeared in Moscow in 1995. It contains more than 20,000 words and phrases drawn from the legislative acts, international treaties and doctrinal writings of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The intention is to produce a Russian-English legal dictionary, that is, one in which the Russian terminological base is founded on Russian legal practice and usage rather than on foreign terminology, as has been the practice with the great majority of previous Russian legal dictionaries."
