Product Description
The Dictionary of International Business Law provides a detailed overview and analysis of the most useful international (British and American) business/legal terms.

The book offers a glossary with expanded definitions for each term or usage, making it a short, ready reference for the business professional. It is certainly not intended to replace a more extensive law dictionary for legal professionals but will be invaluable to the businessperson in dealing with such professionals.

Each entry of the Dictionary of International Business Law focuses on a particular business topic that is commonly used in daily business practice. Cross-references are included to ensure that different terminology from different cultures (Britain and the United States) is reflected in the book. Spelling, unless reflecting a unique British term/usage, will be standard American. ... Read more

The careful arrangement of terms in Danish and German allows near-independent use between these two languages. Heavy emphasis is placed on idiomatic language use with the inclusion of a large number of complex verb and noun phrases, everyday abbreviated terms, and names of institutions etc. When making the selection of terms, the compilers used their experience as professional translators of commercial and theoretical legal and financial documents.

Very useful
This book was a required textbook for the legal secretary program I took in college thirty years ago.My paperback copy is falling apart due to my frequent use, so I am buying a hardbound version to keep on my desk at work.I often turn to it to verify the spelling of Latin terms and to learn the meanings of legal terminology.I highly recommend this book for paralegals and legal secretaries.

Good, But Unnecessary for Most Readers
Oran and Tosti do a nice job of defining legal terms for the nonlawyer. As a professional who needs to understand legal terminology, however, I have found this book unnecessary. I bought "Law Dictionary for Nonlawyers" before I acquired "Black's Law Dictionary." The latter is so complete and has such clear definitions that I rarely even bother to use "Law Dictionary for Nonlawyers."

I strongly recommend that the layman buy and use "Black's Law Dictionary," rather than this or other legal dictionaries designed for laypersons. ... Read more
