Written by team expert team of attorneys, this book answers more than 1,000 of the most frequently asked questions about everyday legal issues, including:
- Credit & debt

The law affects practically every aspect of our lives, and legal questions come up daily. When they do, turn to Law Encyclopedia of Everyday Law, a handy, information-packed desk reference.
Terms are documented with citations and apply to civil procedure, commercial and contract law, constitutional law, criminal law, property law, and torts. This title is also available in a smaller trim-size and type-size "mass market" edition.
This book is ideal for you and it will set you in the right path to improving your legal writing skills and helping you build your knowledge of legal terminology.
It introduces students to key vocabulary, concepts, collocations and prepositions in some of the most important areas of law. It can also be a good introduction to the world of law for those with no legal background whatsoever (whether native or non-native English speakers).
Includes pronunciations, example phrases and quotations, and frequent supplementary notes. Special sections on the judicial system, important legal cases, government agencies, and historic laws.
Some of the key areas of law covered include: Criminals, Contracts; Business and Company; Property (both Intellectual and Real Estate); Legal Procedure (Civil and Criminal) and Litigation, among others.
It is a very informative and interesting book. I highly recommend it for everyone who wants to learn more about legal terms and phrases.

LEGISLATION CREATED TO OFFER ALL EQUALITY. HIGHEST SYSTEM IN AUSTRALIA LOST ITS FOUNDATIONS - STILL A LEGAL SYSTEM WHERE CHOSEN PATHS TO UPHOLD *ACTS* ARE SOON LOST WHERE IT IS TIME LIMITATIONS & LIFESTYLE NEEDS. THAT THE LAW IS NOW CREATED BY INDIVIDUALS DISTRACTED. LAWYERS UP TO BESTOWED HONOR OFFERED TO JUDGES. COURTS ONLY A FREQUENT FLYER SYSTEM - WELL KNOWN TO ITS DELAYS PRACTICING UNETHICAL LAW NOT HUMAN LIFE, WHERE LIFE NOW REMOVED AS *ORDERS* WRITTEN REFLECT A NEW LAW,$$$s DECIDE=DEATH!

Why are most law apps concentrated on ads we understand that these apps earn from the ads but when l download an app its under my management not the owner so many ads with less content than more content and less ads please reduce on the ads

More of an ads distributor than a dictionnary. Offers no real advantages over plain internet searches. Don't bother.
