First published in 1890, Stroud is a long-established dictionary of the English language as it has been interpreted in the courts and in statutory material. It should be an indispensable tool for the practitioner, and a source of reference for the researcher. Fully updated since the fifth edition and in a more manageable three-volume format, it defines virtually every legal term or expression, even the most obscure and archaic. Definitions have been cross-referred to cases, with many longer entries reorganized or sub-divided for more efficient research. This text is also available on CD-ROM for quick and easy reference.
