Law Dictionaries

Oftentimes, our research in genealogy leads us to other professions where it can be helpful to learn a few definitions or terms. A good example is the law. To better understand the probates, wills, criminal and civil cases we are researching, you may want to have some websites that can help you with terms that you are not familiar with.

Law dictionaries and glossaries can be found at http://dictionary.law.com/, http://www.nolo.com/glossary.cfm, http://www.law-dictionary.org/.

A legal dictionary from 1856 can be found at http://www.constitution.org/bouv/bouvier.htm.
