Features: The American Law Dictionary focuses on explaining concepts, terms, and phrases commonly used within the U.S. judicial system. The dictionary is organized for easy retrieval of entries. Within each chapter, specific entries are arranged in alphabetical order. Each entry is marked with a unique number. You can search for a term or concept by using the comprehensive index (Note: this refers to one of the indexes). Bold-encoded numbers in the index indicate that the term or concept is explained in detail in an entry. Terms related to other entries are italicized with their corresponding numbers. Readers seeking information on a particular topic can utilize the cross-references provided at the end of most entries. Reference numbers listed after the definition section will guide readers to relevant discussions included in this chapter or other chapters.
