Legal terminology textbook
- Legal terminology textbook
Unlike a law dictionary, which arranges and defines legal words and phrases individually and in alphabetical order, a legal terminology textbook arranges and defines legal words and phrases in groups and by topic. As a result, a student or other person interested in understanding an array of related legal words and phrases may prefer to use a legal terminology textbook instead.
Legal terminology textbooks published in the United States include the following:
* Edward A. Nolfi, "Legal Terminology Explained" (McGraw-Hill Higher Education 2009) (released April 2008).
* Gordon W. Brown, "Legal Terminology", 5th Ed. (Prentice Hall 2008).
* Cathy J. Okrent, "Legal Terminology With Flashcards", 3rd Ed. (Delmar 2008).
* Wanda Roderick-Bolton, "Legal Studies: Terminology and Transcription", 5th Ed. (Southwestern 2004).
