Legal Terminology (West Legal Studies)

Description

Legal Terminology for Legal Professionals serves a host of professionals, from attorneys and law students to paralegals and court reporters. These professionals will welcome this learning guide and reference tool of over a thousand complex legal terms defined in accessible language and further explained through the use of succinct examples. In contrast to a dictionary format, the narrative format employed groups related terms by topic-specific chapters. For example, in the chapter on domestic relations terms and phrases, students will follow a relationship from a couple's first meeting, to dating, moving in together, marrying, having children, contemplating divorce, and divorcing. This book gives legal professionals insight into the many terms and phrases they will be expected to know and use in order to succeed in their field.
