This is a bilingual Spanish-English English-Spanish dictionary for individuals and companies involved in international business and commerce, and for anyone who needs an understanding of legal issues across the Spanish-English linguistic and cultural divide. This dictionary provides a thorough coverage of terms and concepts in the areas of Business Law, Civil and Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Contracts and Torts, Family Law, Labor Law, Liability, Probate, Property Law, and International Trade Agreements (esp. NAFTA and MERCOSUR [Brazil-Argentina-Uruguay] Trade Agreements). The unique feature of this dictionary is that it includes authoritative encyclopedic definitions that quote or restate judgements, torts and contracts, as well as Civil, Penal and Commercial codes from the US, Spain, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and other Latin American countries. While other references just offer synonyms for legal terms, this dictionary enables the user to understand the legal system of the other culture(s). Useful back matter includes listings of key encyclopedic entries by subject matter, allowing users to focus on the areas of specific interest. Also included - simple documents, side-by-sid
