Law Dictionary - NEW EDITION
One word you don't understand can cost you.
A lease you signed. A court notice in the mail. A contract full of indemnify, escrow, and force majeure. The law does not speak plainly, and it never has. Consideration means one thing at the breakfast table and something else entirely in a contract. That gap is where confusion starts and where expensive mistakes begin.
This is your plain-English guide to the language of the law: a complete A-to-Z legal dictionary that tells you what the words actually mean, in language you already speak.
- Complete A to Z coverage arranged alphabetically, every letter from A to Z
- Plain-English definitions written for clarity, not buried in dense legal jargon
- Part-of-speech tags on each entry so you know how a term is actually used
- Numbered senses when a single term carries several legal meanings
- Latin and Law French translated: habeas corpus, mens rea, voir dire, pro se, res ipsa loquitur
- Cross-references that guide you to related terms
- Guide words on every page so you can find any term in seconds
- Clean two-column layout, 6 x 9 inches, desk or backpack sized
- All major areas of law: contracts, torts, criminal, property, family, wills and estates, business, evidence, procedure, employment, landlord-tenant, bankruptcy, and constitutional law
- Read with confidence: understand any contract, lease, or notice instead of guessing
- Catch what matters: spot the clause that counts before you sign, not after
- Sound prepared: walk into class, a deposition, or a meeting like you belong
- Save time and money: ask better questions and waste less of an expensive billable hour
- Study smarter: one clear definition beats an hour of re-reading
- Use it anywhere: no internet needed, so it works even when the signal drops
- Law students: a true law student must-have for 1L courses, bar review, and pre-law reading
- Paralegals and legal assistants: the desk reference for drafting, filing, and client intake
- Business owners: contracts, LLCs, non-competes, and terms of service decoded
- Real estate agents, landlords, and tenants: escrow, lien, easement, quitclaim deed, unlawful detainer
- Anyone facing a legal matter: divorce, probate, a claim, a custody case, or a will
- Writers and journalists: courtroom language that rings true on the page
- Students and lifelong learners: civics, criminal justice, and readers approaching the book of the law and other foundational texts
- English learners and new citizens: legal English made far less intimidating
- As a gift: lasting and genuinely useful for a new law student, a graduate, a newly admitted attorney, or the relative who always has a legal question
A definition tells you what a term means, not what to do. When something real is at stake, speak with a lawyer licensed where you live, and knowing the language will make that talk far more productive.
Keep it within reach. The next lease, notice, or contract is coming. Put the answer on your desk, in your bag, or on the shelf where you will actually reach for it.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
