For nearly 130 years, Black¿s Law Dictionary has been the gold standard for the language of the law. The greatly expanded 11th edition, with new material on every page, is at once the most practical, comprehensive, scholarly, and authoritative law dictionary ever published.

This edition introduces 3,500 new terms, including accountability, anticipatory self-defense, cyber force, Islamic law, Jewish law, legal moralism, legal reasoning, moral equality, peacekeeping, remotely piloted warfare, right to rebel, and umbrella clause. More than 900 Latin maxims have been added, newly translated, and carefully indexed for this edition, making Black¿s Law Dictionary the most thorough and reliable source for these essential and often elusive items. Headwords are given their dates of earliest known use in English-language sources, giving dictionary users a greater sense of historical context. Black¿s Law Dictionary is the only legal dictionary to provide such data. The extensive bibliography lists the more than 1,000 classics of legal literature that are briefly quoted throughout the dictionary to amplify the user¿s understanding of legal terminology. Each of the more than 6,000 quotations locates a critical and otherwise hard-to-find explanation of the terms under discussion.

A Compendious and Comprehensive Law Dictionary by Thomas Walter Williams Pdf

Reprint of the only edition of an uncommon dictionary. One of several English dictionaries published in the early nineteenth century, Williams' dictionary is notable for its physical size and broad scope. Williams noted that his aim was to include more words and shorter definitions by omitting the extraneous detail that distinguished the work of his predecessors (and, presumably, his competitors). Williams [1763-1833] was a barrister of the Inner Temple and was called to the bar, but he didn't have success as a pleader. He was known instead for his writings. In addition to his dictionary, he wrote manuals justices of the peace, compiled abridgments and digests and edited an edition of William Sheppard's The Precedent of Precedents.

A Law Dictionary of Words, Terms, Abbreviations, and Phrases which are Peculiar to the Law and of Those which Have a Peculiar Meaning in the Law, Containing Latin Phrases and Maxims, with Their Translations and a Table of the Names of the Reports and Their Abbreviations by James Arthur Ballentine Pdf

Along with those of Black and Anderson, Ballentine's is one of the most important American dictionaries of the modern era. Originally published: Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, [1916]. [vi], 632 pp. Reprint of the uncommon first edition. Containing over 18,000 entries and a 97-page index of American and English law and equity reports, it is renowned for its concision and accuracy. Immediately popular, it went through three editions by 1969 and served as the basis of Ballentine's College Law Dictionary (first edition, 1931) and the Self-Pronouncing Law Dictionary (1948). The 1916 edition retains its value as a handy but thorough one-volume reference. JAMES A. BALLENTINE was Assistant Professor of Law at the University of California and Dean of the San Francisco Law School.
