Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 340.03 EAN: 9780071415293 Edition: 1 ISBN: 0071415297 Label: McGraw-Hill Manufacturer: McGraw-Hill Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 512 Publication Date: August 07, 2003 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Studio: McGraw-Hill Editorial Review: Product Description: McGraw-Hill's Spanish and English Legal Dictionary defines hundreds of words in business law, civil and criminal law, contracts and torts, constitutional law, family law, labor law, liability, probate, property law, and international trade agreements.

Rating:  - Great tool for translatorsI am a translator and also and interpreter, and I have found that this is a great dictionary for my translations, althought I must say, that sometimes the explanations can be somewhat confusing, but I still think that is a very good dictionary in general. Just one thing.. I think the authors did miss a few words. Rating: - Rough & Ready TranslationI am a prosecutor, and I needed a dictionary to help translate the basic legal terms that are necessary to explain a guilty plea to criminal defendants. For my purposes the dictionary has been helpful. The dictionary enables me to find some word that will be close enough to my intended meaning to enable the defendant to follow. It is a handsome hard cover volume. However, it doesn't have the kind of detail that you might want to explain to clients of different cultural backgrounds the more ... Read More |
