German Legal Dictionary: With Bonus Book

By Sean L. Young

The dictionary caters particularly to law students and future translators and interpreters with an interest in acquiring and expanding a fundamental grounding in German legal vocabulary. And, the book "The Power of German" is included as a bonus to help you learn the basic foundation of German grammar.

Currently listing over 630 entries with over 1,000 translations, this dictionary covers most needs in the English and American legal systems. German law is very different than Anglo-Saxon law. It’s based on codified law as opposed to case law and has developed from the principles of Ancient Roman and Germanic law. I will be making a separate publication directed towards German Law vocabulary.

About the Dictionary

This dictionary is not a complete listing of all the words used in the legal profession, but it’s a good start. Currently over 630 entries with over 1,000 translations to cover most needs in the English and American legal systems. German law is very different than Anglo-Saxon law. It’s based on codified law as opposed to case law and has developed from the principles of Ancient Roman and Germanic law. I will be making a separate publication directed towards German Law vocabulary.
