Law Firm Dictionaries And Encyclopedias
With the information highway and a careful attention to reliability of the online resources we access, we can study a great bit of law…or at least look up and understand the meanings of legal terms and phrases and concepts without necessarily having to contact a law firm. In fact, a number of law firms have contributed to online legal resources, making them the most available tools in history for the student of law, the neophyte attorney, and especially the layperson who is untrained in legalese. Duhaime’s Canadian Law Dictionary online is a user-friendly law firm resource that includes hundreds of terms from A to Z and links any terms included in each definition so you can look those up as well. Jurist Legal Dictionaries at jurist.law.pitt.edu is an online dictionary and a directory of dictionaries that would be of interest especially to law students. The site, which is clearly organized and very easy to navigate, also provides a legal research section—which includes cases and statutes and law reviews, for example; legal education sections for searching law schools and accessing legal news briefs and video lectures; and numerous other sections featuring scholarship, student life, and additional legal resources for study. Law.com’s Legal Dictionary is dually navigable for law firms, law students, or laymen and –women who need to look up a particular legal term or phrase: this online legal resource provides a search engine as well as an A to Z lexicon, so you have double the search capabilities with dual alternative search methods. One can see an appreciation for rhetoric in general and for alliteration and other linguistic tropes in the site called The ‘Lectric Law Library’s Legal Lexicon’s Lyceum. Besides the playfulness of presentation, any law firm, law student, or layperson will appreciate the thousands of entries and their definitions and explanations of legal terms, legal definitions, and legal concepts, written in user-friendly ways that are easily understood. Lawinfo.com is a dictionary, directory, and encyclopedia, featuring qualified law firms, legal attorneys, and legal resources. In addition, the site is plentiful with multi-lingual and multi-national sources and resources—such as FAQs en Español; Canadian forms; and other vital audio, video, and textual tools. Lawyers.com not only features informative legal resources but search engines to find a lawyer or law form near you, a section of legal tips and guidelines for finding a business or personal law firm or lawyer, a community concerns section, and a section for making contact with law firms and lawyers online. Nolo: Everybody’s Legal Dictionary is indeed designed and maintained online for anybody and everybody.
