Law Dictionary

A law dictionary is a comprehensive reference tool that provides definitions and explanations of legal terms and concepts.

Examples of Common Law Dictionary Terms:

1. Adjudication: In law, the process of resolving a dispute through a court judgment.
2. Tort: A civil wrong that causes harm or injury, leading to legal liability.
3. Exclusionary Rule: A legal principle that prohibits improperly obtained evidence from being used in court.

Law dictionaries are especially useful for law students, lawyers, paralegals, and anyone involved in the legal profession. They aid in understanding complex legal concepts, interpreting statutes, and ensuring precise legal language is used in court documents.

Here are some sample sentences illustrating the usage of law dictionary terms:

• The judge referred to the law dictionary to find the exact meaning of the term "beyond a reasonable doubt."
