Excerpt from A Concordance of Words and Phrases Construed in the Judicial Reports, and of Legal Definitions Contained Therein This volume is an attempt to collect the adjudged cases in the reports of the Unital States (state and Federal), Great Britain, and the Colonies, in which Words and Phrases have been construed and Definitions of Legal Terms have been made or approved. Every one who has examined the subject must have noticed how rare a thing it is to find a volume of legal reports whose Index contains such a title as Words and Phrases or Definitions. Except in some score of the earlier volumes of the English Common Law Reports and the current reports of the English Incorporated Law Society, the reporters have, with a surprising unanimity, com pletely neglected these important topics. It is even worse in the American Reports. Our reporters, down to within a very late period, apparently never thought of the expediency of incorporating such a title into their books, and until the last ten years, it was impossible to find a volume of American decisions in which a sepa rate place was given to these important subjects. The digesters have followed the reporters in this omission, and the result is that with the exception of the current reports of Massachusetts, New York, and a few other States, there is no key to the multitude of decisions in which Words and Phrases have been construed by the courts of this country.

The International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08) is a four-level hierarchically structured classification that covers all jobs in the world. Developed with the benefit of accumulated national and international experience as well as the help of experts from many countries and agencies, ISCO-08 is fully supported by the international community as an accepted standard for international labour statistics. ISCO-08 classifies jobs into 436 unit groups. These unit groups are aggregated into 130 minor groups, 43 sub-major groups and 10 major groups, based on their similarity in terms of the skill level and skill specialisation required for the jobs. This allows the production of relatively detailed internationally comparable data as well as summary information for only 10 groups at the highest level of aggregation. Each group in the classification is designated by a title and code number and is associated with a definition that specifies the scope of the group. The classification is divided into two volumes: Volume I presents the structure and definitions of all groups in ISCO-08 and their correspondence with ISCO-88, which it supersedes, while Volume II provides an updated and expanded index of occupational titles and associated ISCO-08 and ISCO-88 codes.
