Prepared by a noted legal lexicographer and team of prominent legal historians, scholars, lawyers, and judges, who rewrote every entry — both for substantive accuracy and for stylistic clarity.

Covers international law as never before. Systematically incorporates new legal terms from "cybersquatting" to "Megan's law" to "statistical-decision theory." Parts of speech and etymology of terms are provided where appropriate. Includes dozens of subject and usage labels to quickly orient you to term's context.
