Les profondes différences entre les droits français, anglais et américain, rendent particulièrement délicates les traductions de textes juridiques tels que les lois ou les contrats. Pour permettre, au-delà de la traduction littérale, une juste transposition des concepts, ce Dictionnaire rassemble deux types d'entrées : * Des définitions à caractère lexical faisant une large place aux expressions courantes et couvrant l'ensemble du vocabulaire juridique de chaque langue ; * Des définitions encyclopédiques qui replacent les notions dans le contexte de leur système juridique. Cette double dimension, ainsi que de nombreux renvois aux sources du droit (codes et lois, jurisprudence, doctrine), font du Dictionnaire juridique Dahl un instrument de travail sans équivalent pour les juristes des deux langues. The translation of legal texts, such as statutes and contracts, is particularly difficult due to the sharp distinctions between French, English and American law. To allow a proper transposition of concepts, beyond a literal translation, this dictionary includes two types of entries: * Brief definitions of key words and common phrases that span across the core legal vocabulary of each language. * Encyclopedic definitions that conceptually place legal notions within the context of their respective system. This double dimension, as well as numerous references to legal sources (codes, judgements, legal writing), turn Dahl's Law Dictionary into an irreplaceable tool for jurists of both languages.
