Book excerpt: Any area of law generates its own set of terms - some informal jargon, some as terms of art, and other words or phrases that might fit in other linguistic categories. These become shorthand that is used to understand and to communicate by lawyers, judges, paralegals, caseworkers, litigants, and others.This handbook follows the dictionary format of Criminal Law Slanguage of New York. Most of the terminology is New York-specific, though a number of terms are national and a few are international. At the end is a list of resources, where the terms are addressed further.With each main entry, an italicized word indicates the main area of family law that it applies to: Custody, Child Support, Delinquency, Divorce, Neglect, PINS, TPR (termination of parental rights), and the like. After the definition, a case or statutory citation is usually listed.This being the first edition, there are undoubtedly a lot of expressions out there in use, some generally, some regionally, that should be added, and suggestions on these, as well as on refining any definition or citation, is appreciated.Gary [email protected]
