Next week I will be doing a training update for the Seattle Public Librarians. In preparation I decided to post a glossary I have used in the past to explain legal terms. The glossary uses a When you hear - think approach and links to the appropriate research guide from our web site and to other resources that may help. It does not include direct definitions, but is a good place to start. The WashingtonLawHelp web site also has a great glossary that lists legal terms used on its web site, plus the definitions, but no links. You may find an additional Guide to Terms Used in Washington Courts at the State Court web site. If you do not know what a legal term may mean, how to start a legal procedure such as eviction or deal with that traffic ticket you just received, check out the glossary for links that may help.
