  Fully revised and updated, this third edition defines over 7,500 legal terms used in British and American English. Entries include a clear definition together with part of speech, example sentences, quotations from magazines and journals, grammar notes and encyclopaedic comments. Phonetic pronunciation guides for all headwords are included. Criminal, civil, commercial and international law are all covered, with the level of language varying from the very formal to prison slang. The dictionary also includes the latest major changes (in 1999) to the British legal system.
