Can anyone recommend a good French English legal dictionary?

Hi,
I bought the first during my first year of law studies. I bought a newest version few years ago - as there may be a new edition I don't give you the ISBN. You can check on www.dalloz. fr
It does not give many details but it helps understanding the concept.

If you're looking for a bilingual dictionary try F.H.S Bridge's Council of Europe French-English Legal Dictionary (there's a separate volume for English-French) ISBN 92-871-2496-5. I think it's available from the CoE or you should be able to get it from Grant and Cutler in Great Marlborough Street in London.
For a French-only option, try G. Cornu's Vocabulaire juridique published by PUF.
Best,
Karen

I have sometimes found the Dalloz insufficient for my needs and the Bridge's much better - very good explanations as well as translations..

I absolutely agree. The Council of Europe Fr-Eng Legal Dictionary is excellent. I find it much more helpful than my Dahl's Law Dictionary, although that is also useful. I got them both from Grant & Cutler.
Best wishes,
Jenny

TOPIC STARTER | F.H.S Bridge it is | Mar 26, 2009 |
Thank you for your recommendations: I'll be buy the F.H.S Bridge when I get paid. I thought I should point out that while this dictionary costs £35 from CoE, Grant and Cutler charge a whopping £56.

Sorry but what does CoE stand for? (at the risk of souding dumb! Council of Europe?)

So I found the CoE site (;-)) but cannot find the English to French version of their legal dictionary.
Karen mentions it:

Would anybody know where I can find it?
Thank you!

I have purchased the French to English version which is very concise and seems to be used by most lawyers involved in translation that I have met in various seminars. However, I cannot get hold of the legal glossary from English into French which I thought was also from the COE. I wrote to them and they replied that there is no exact english version. Has anyone come accross the same problem and what would you recommend to use for legal translations from English into French? I would prefer to...
