Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive dictionary of English language legal terms from the period between the passing of the Judicature Acts of 1873 and 1875 to the end of 1890. These acts introduced radical changes within the legal system, and the author recognized the need to interpret and define the unfamiliar terms that emerged as a result. Spanning a wide range of topics, from contract and tort to trusts and conveyancing, the author considers the phrases and expressions that came into use with the acts and examines their legal significance. This definitive guide to legal language is now available in a convenient one-volume format.
