American Sign Language Legal Dictionary

Many of the signs in this book are strings of signs that conceptually define the legal term. Though strings of signs may be cumbersome for conveying an English term, the signs serve to provide a clear meaning of the term, reducing the possibility of miscommunication.

Over 1,000 entries that cover a range of legal terms from family law to criminal law; Clear descriptions of how to make the signs; Full-torso illustrations that relate the moving hands to the body; Multiple cross references for accurate lookup; Full definitions, not just one-word glosses.
