Lexicon of Legal Terms, Collective, Serge Guinchard, Thierry Debard

More than 5,500 entries including 110 boxed definitions directly related to current events: European certificate of succession, conflict of interest, generation contract, multiple mandates, homoparenthood, maritime offense, marriage, electronic money, carbon tax... Major current reforms: electronic communication of acts and documents in judicial proceedings, participatory procedure agreement, local courts, simplified procedures for sentencing, golden rule, civic service for juvenile delinquents... References to articles of official codes and major case law decisions. All areas of law, through the cross-referenced perspectives of specialists. In 20 editions (circulated to over a million copies and translated into numerous languages including Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese), the Lexique des termes juridiques has established itself as a reference tool for all law students. Over the years, going beyond this purely pedagogical function, the work has become a true instrument of information, allowing everyone to know and understand the judicial organization and legal mechanisms in order to better assert their rights, thus giving concrete content to the adage "ignorance of the law is no excuse."
