I am looking to purchase a hard copy Spanish to English Legal Dictionary.

Would anyone who is a specialist in Law be able to recommend a fairly comprehensive legal dictionary which is reasonably priced? I am based in the UK.

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

Best regards

Try 'Dictionaries and References' (?)

Alcaraz Varó

I recently purchased the Diccionario de términos jurídicos by Alcaraz Varó, ISBN 9788434432635. It is a bilingual dictionary, and the Spanish-English part is about 40% of the contents. I quite like it, but of course I don't translate into English.

And indeed, it might make sense to check the reference in Proz for more opinions.

Being a mere 50km from the border, I get the odd legal job from ES to EN and am far more impressed with this dictionary than any of the PT to EN dictionaries on the market. It's not perfect -- no dictionary ever is -- but it's a worthwhile investment in my view.

You can order it through Grant and Cutler.

I was advised that Guillermo Cabanellas de las cuevas' dictionary is a very good legal dictionary. I have it and it has been very helpful. I hope you can find it
