The Encyclopaedic Australian Legal Dictionary is a unique reference work containing over 25,000 definitions. Terms are presented in an Australian context and are supported by Australian legislative and judicial authority, wherever it exists. The definitions cover every subject area of law and include: jurisprudential and criminological terms; explanations of well known rules and principles of law; definitions of international law terms, treaties and conventions; old English legal terms to assist in understanding older cases and commentaries; translations of Latin legal words and phrases; descriptions of landmark decisions of the High Court of Australia; and biographical entries for significant legal historians, scholars and jurisprudential figures. Terms from a range of other non-legal subject areas such as business and commerce, and environmental management are also included. Hypertext links from the dictionary definitions to additional citations in Australian Legal Words and Phrases are included, allowing you a wider and more thorough search of legal words and phrases used in all Australian jurisdictions. Also included are hypertext links to LexisNexis online reports series. - Publisher's website.
