law dictionary

A law dictionary is a dictionary that is designed and compiled to give information about terms used in the field of law.A distinction is made between different types of law dictionaries. A monolingual law dictionary covers one language, a bilingual covers two.A distinction may also be made as to its coverage. A law dictionary that covers an entire field of law is called a single-field dictionary, whereas a dictionary that covers a part of a field of law is called a sub-field dictionary, e.g. a dictionary of contract law. If the law dictionary attempts to cover all the terms in the field of law, its is called a maximizing dictionary, and if it attempts to cover only a limited number of terms, it is called a minimizing dictionary.
