Types of Law Dictionaries
Distinctions are made among various types of law dictionaries.
Differentiating factors include:
- Number of languages covered: a monolingual law dictionary covers one language, a bilingual covers two.
- Number of fields covered: a single-field dictionary covers an entire field of law, whereas a sub-field dictionary covers a part of a field of law, e.g. a dictionary of contract law.
- Scope of terms covered: a maximizing dictionary attempts to cover all the terms in the field of law, while a minimizing dictionary attempts to cover only a limited number of terms.
