Osborn's Concise Law Dictionary

Over the years, "Osborn" has provided generations of students and practitioners with an introduction to the language of the law, as well as a source of reference for use in further study. The text offers a range of legal terms and expressions. This new edition has been completely revamped by a team of specialist contributors whose knowledge and expertise should bring the dictionary completely up to date. The essential features of earlier editions have been preserved and, as before, the book includes definitions of legal words and phrases, Roman law terms and maxims and a list of law reports, together with their abbreviations. EC material is incorporated. This dictionary is suitable for use in Scotland.
