This best-selling dictionary serves as an authoritative source of jargon-free legal information, featuring over 4,200 entries that clearly define key terms, concepts, processes, and the structure of the English legal system. The latest edition has been fully updated to reflect recent legislation, including the significant Companies Act impacting company law and the Constitutional Reform Act affecting the roles of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Chief Justice, and the Law Lords. It also offers expanded coverage of criminology and law enforcement. Key topics are explored in detail through highlighted feature entries, covering areas such as adoption law, the appeals system, statements of terms of employment, and terrorism acts. A Writing and Citation Guide addresses common challenges and conventions for writing legal essays and reports. This edition provides more information than ever, including recommended web links for many entries, accessible via the companion website. Praised by university lecturers as 'the best law dictionary' and 'excellent for non-law students as well as law undergraduates,' it is an invaluable reference for professionals, students, and anyone seeking clear explanations of legal terms. While focusing on English law, it also serves as a comprehensive resource for countries with legal systems based on English law.
