Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to A Pocket Dictionary of Law
Whether you're a student beginning your journey in legal studies, a professional seeking quick references, or simply a curious mind drawn to the world of law, A Pocket Dictionary of Law is designed with you in mind. This compact, accessible volume brings clarity to hundreds of common legal terms and concepts that often appear in textbooks, courtrooms, contracts, and daily conversations.
Law is not just the domain of lawyers and judges-it shapes our rights, responsibilities, and the rules of society. Yet, legal language can be intimidating and often inaccessible to the general public. This dictionary breaks that barrier. It provides clear, concise definitions without oversimplification, helping you build confidence in understanding and using legal terminology.
In addition to essential English legal terms, this volume includes a curated appendix of popular Latin maxims and phrases frequently encountered in legal discourse, bridging the gap between classical roots and modern application.
Compiled by Dr. Sabuj Ahmed, an educator and law enthusiast, this book reflects a passion for making knowledge approachable. Inspired by his son's journey in legal education and informed by a love for clarity and precision, this dictionary is both personal and practical.
Keep it in your bag, on your desk, or in your pocket-it's your quick guide to the language of law, ready whenever you are.
