Document Description
The World Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations is the most comprehensive source for discovering the meaning of legal abbreviations worldwide, enabling researchers of foreign laws and legal literature to ascertain the meaning of various abbreviations and acronyms. Because most countries have no uniform system or standards for abbreviating legal terms, abbreviation development has been dependent upon the structure of the country's language and legal system. In European legal systems, this may reflect the customary usage for several centuries. The result is frequently a mix of highly idiosyncratic jumbles of letters with little obvious meaning. Since the same abbreviation may also have more than one use, researchers may easily be led astray. As the world shrinks and the practice of law becomes even more "globalized," it is important to be able to quickly locate the meaning of the many abbreviations researchers encounter. Published in loose-leaf format for ease in updating and supplementation, this unique reference work is invaluable to the foreign or international law scholar!

with little obvious meaning. Since the same abbreviation may also have more than one use, researchers may easily be
led astray. As the world shrinks and the practice of law becomes even more “globalized,” it is important to be able to
