Legal terminology textbook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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).
