Description
A Law Dictionary and Glossary by William Cochran (published in the late 19th century) is a practical reference work created to define and explain the language of law as it was commonly used in legal writing, contracts, and court proceedings. This dictionary focuses on clarity and precision, offering concise definitions intended to make legal terminology more accessible to students and readers outside the legal profession.
Written during a period when legal language was more formally structured and closely tied to common-law tradition, this work preserves definitions that reflect original legal meanings rather than modern reinterpretations. Entries cover a broad range of terms related to contracts, property, trusts, procedure, and equity, making it especially useful for those studying foundational law or historical legal documents.
This dictionary is well suited for independent learners, researchers, homeschool students, and anyone seeking to become fluent in the language of law. As a reference volume, it encourages careful reading, accurate definition of terms, and a deeper understanding of legal concepts that continue to influence modern law. A valuable addition to any Trust & Law or self-education library.
