Legal glossary
US legal terms and their description. Legal language is complicated and in many cases not clear enough to the person without law degree. Precise interpreteration of all the terms and their meaning is crucial for cases that involve non-English speakers. This glossary is a good starting point for translators and interpreters who provide services for courthouses or law firms, or for other events where legal language is used.
