英汉法律词典（修订本），ISBN：9787503619861，作者：本书编写组编

当今世界，大陆法系与英美法系的融和日渐明显。我国虽传统上属于大陆法系，但在我国建设社会主义法治国家的进程中，尤其是近年来我国民法典的制订工作已经提上了重要的议事日程。在此情况下，我们在立足本国国情的基础上，也应当充分借鉴两大法系的先进法学理论和立法、司法经验。
就英美法而言，其许多法律领域，尤其是在合同法、侵权法等领域，不仅是其本国法律文化的重要组成部分，也为世界各国所广泛借鉴。由于语言和法律文化方面的差异，我们对英美法的了解仍然是比较欠缺的，甚至对英美法中的某些基本概念及其制度内涵产生了一些误读、误解。由潘汉典教授等学者组织编写的《元照英美法辞典》，在全面介绍英美法的基本制度、概念等方面填补了目前我国法律辞书在此方面的空白。
本书的特点主要体现在如下方面：一是编译者的权威性。本书以倪征日奥、王名扬、杨铁梁等八位国内外著名学者为学术顾问，并组织中国人民大学法学院、北京大学法学院、中国社会科学院法学所等多家国内著名法科院校、科研机构中的二百余专家、学者参阅大量资料文献，历经多年，反复修订而成，并最终由徐开墅等数十位专家学者加以审定。二是收录范围的广泛性。收入及注释5万余词条，包含词组的一般法律用法，附图表30余份，历史文件八件。内容涉及法理、宪法、刑法、民法等英美法各大领域。三是对词条解释的准确性、全面性。每个词条都标明了其辞源，包括拉丁文、法文、德文。对每一词条的解释非常全面，即便此种意义在现代法已罕用，对学术研究极负价值。而且由于编译者熟悉我国法律制度，对各个法律领域的基本制度都有较为精深的研究，因此，本书对我国法和英美法的基本概念对应准确，解释极为精到。四是本书具有较强的可读性，既可适用于法学研究人员，也可适用于法官、律师等实务界人士。本书对于非法学专业人士研究英美政治、经济、文化等社会制度也极具参考价值。

《法律辞典(简明本)》共收条目近4000条。包括法理学、国际法、国际私法、国际经济法、经济法、民法、商法、宪法、刑法、刑事诉讼法、民事诉讼法、行政法、行政诉讼法、知识产权法、刑事侦察法、法医学、司法鉴定学等学科中的制度、术语、法律等。

Why is legal language so different from ordinary English? Statutes, judicial opinions, contracts, deeds and wills profoundly affect our daily lives, but their language tends to be convoluted, antiquated and often nearly impossible for the public to understand. So where did the "lessees" and "tortfeasors" come from and are they necessarily here to stay? This history of legal language slices through the polysyllabic thicket of legalese. It shows to what extent legalese is simply a product of its past, when Anglo-Saxon mercenaries, Latin-speaking missionaries, Scandinavian raiders and Norman invaders all left their marks on the language that lawyers use today. Peter Tiersma suggests, however, that history alone provides an inadequate explanation for the peculiarities of legal language. He considers how lawyers cling to their foreign-sounding language because it convinces laypeople that the legal system is far too complex to navigate without professional assistance. Obscurity, Tiersma suggests, can also be strategic (as when an insurance company prints oppressive legal terms in small type on the back of a policy), as can clarity (if lawyers need to persuade a jury of their client's innocence, they speak and write with newfound ease). All these issues are wrapped up in the legal language that continues to evolve and shape our culture. This text demonstrates that arcane vocabulary is not an inevitable feature of our legal system and Tiersma concludes with a call for simplification. It brings the verbiage of leases, employment agreements and other consumer documents out of the shadows.

As a critical analysis of the law-making process, this book has no equal. For more than two decades it has filled a gap in the requirements of law students and others taking introductory courses on the legal system. It deals with every aspect of the law-making process: the preparation of legislation; its passage through Parliament; statutory interpretation; binding precedent; how precedent works; law reporting; the nature of the judicial role; European Union law; and the process of law reform. It presents a large number of original texts from a variety of sources - cases, official reports, articles, books, speeches and empirical research studies - laced with the author's informed commentary and reflections on the subject. This book is a mine of information dealing with both the broad sweep of the subject and with all its detailed ramifications.
