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.

“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
