Synopsis:
Random House Webster's Pocket Legal Dictionary goes beyond goes beyond surface definitions of legal terms, enabling the user to come away with some grasp of the current scope and significance of myriad legal concepts.
This is achieved through:
definitions that include enough detail to avoid being simplistic
examples of sentences and phrases showing how a term is used
subentries that flesh out the meaning of the main entry term
histroical information, summaries of recent cases or other commentary
division of certain items into separate entries to avoid confusion between unrelated easily conflated meanings
copious cross-references to related or contrasting terms that help to place an entry in context and clarify its scope
an appendix summarizing all of the amendments to the United States Constitution, which are the source of so many of the most fundamental principles in American law
About the Author: James E. Clapp, a former member of the Board of Editors of the Columbia Law Review and a Harlan Stone Fiske Scholar, has done professional legal work for a number of firms and has written briefs for cases brought before the U.S. Supreme Court.
