Derived from the famous 1853 law dictionary used by Daniel Webster, Abraham
Lincoln, and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., The Wolters Kluwer Bouvier
Law Dictionary Desk Edition has been brought completely up-to-date by a
distinguished and widely-published legal scholar and teacher. Steve Sheppard,
with law degrees from Oxford and Columbia Universities, brings his
scholarship, international practice, and litigation experience to bear in
making the famous text as relevant today as it was when it first broke ground
in American law. Definitions derived from contemporary as well as classic
sources give the reference book its depth and authority. Building on Bouvier's
structure and entries, Professor Sheppard has added thousands of new terms and
rewritten many original definitions. 8,500 robust, paragraph-length entries
explain more than 11,200 words and phrases, far more than the original
two-volume set of 6,600. Every entry comes with the complete derivation of the
term and quotations (numbering in the tens of thousands) illustrating its
use, making The Wolters Kluwer Bouvier Law Dictionary Desk Edition as
comprehensive and thought-provoking as the great Abridgments of the Common
Law. Each entry is written to be understood by the modern student, argued by
the modern lawyer, and cited by the modern judge. An intuitive structure and
thorough cross-referencing makes the first complete revision of this essential
dictionary in more than a hundred years accessible and easy to use.
