With the increasing commercial, cultural, athletic and tourist interaction between the United States and Chinese-speaking Asia, this glossary serves the need for an easy explanation of legal terms and procedures with an accurate and authoritative translation for anyone involved in the U.S. legal process. A pocket dictionary of terms pertaining to basic general American law and criminal law, it is equally useful for Chinese speakers and English speakers. Chinese speakers will find it a welcome reference for understanding the American judicial system. It’s also essential for non-Chinese speakers working in the American legal system or in law enforcement; in these contexts, no knowledge of Chinese is required to use it as a verbal communication aid, since the user can point to the Chinese equivalent of the relevant English term. Includes both simplified and traditional characters.
