As a core component of legal language used to draft, enforce, and practice law, legal terms have fascinated lawyers, linguists, terminologists, and other scholars for centuries. Third in the series, this Handbook offers a comprehensive compendium of the current state of knowledge on legal terminology. It is the first attempt to bring together perspectives from the domains of Terminology, Translation Studies, Linguistics, Law, and Information Technology in a single place. This interdisciplinary endeavour comprises systematic reviews, case studies and research papers which overview key properties of legal terms and concepts, terminological tools and resources, training aspects, as well as translation in national contexts and multilingual organizations. The Handbook attests to the complex multifaceted nature of legal terminology and showcases its cultural, communicative, cognitive, and social contexts in diverse legal systems. It is a rich resource for scholars, practitioners, trainers, and students, presenting vibrant research and practice in this area.
