dictionary request: a comprehensive dictionary of legal terms currently in use in the PRC

[BadDog91748]

It would be very helpful to have a dictionary of currently used legal terms in the PRC. Regular dictionaries that do not specialize in legal matters miss the nuances. Such a dictionary would be very helpful to lawyers, especially, and to anyone who wants precise definitions of legal terms

We’d love to offer a legal dictionary, but we haven’t found an up to date one that we can license. (Any recommendations for good printed titles we should inquire about?)

I will make some inquiries of a friend in the PRC and find out what is the preferred one over there

What about:

World Law Dictionary China - World Law Dictionary

dictionary.translegal.com

This seems like more of a glossary type thing - maps a Chinese word to an English translation and then provides the full definition in English. So I don't know if there's enough there that it's something we could license + make back our investment on, even assuming the makers of this site were willing to license it to us.

Here’s another one I found for consideration.

The Ricci Dictionary of Chinese Law Online / Dictionnaire Ricci du droit chinois /«利氏中国法律辞典»

"The Ricci Dictionary of Chinese Law Online / Dictionnaire Ricci du droit chinois /«利氏中国法律辞典»" published on by Brill.

Last I checked they weren't interested in licensing out that one, but it's been a few years and I can ask again the next time I'm talking with them.
