First published in 1890, Stroud is long established as the foremost dictionary of the English law as it has been interpreted by the courts and in statutory material. In three volumes, Stroud is a comprehensive and indispensable tool for the practitioner and a unique source for the researcher, providing quick access to exact, authoritative meanings. Stroud's Judicial Dictionary remains the starting point for research into the meaning of all words and phrases that come to be used in a legal context. Unlike Jowitt's Dictionary of English Law, which provides an authoritative definition of technical legal concepts, Stroud records how any expression that happens to occur in a legal document or be referred to for a legal purpose has been construed by the courts or defined in legislation. The First Supplement to the Eleventh Edition includes: 160 pages of updates; New material for long-standing entries such as: Activity; Appropriate; Business; Compensation; Court; Due; Dwelling; Employee; Habitual residence; Incidental; Jurisdiction; Matter; Oil; Person; Proceedings; Reckless; Suitable; Trade; Trust; and Value. New entries including: Bitcoin; Bottom-trawling; Car-cruising; Cash buyer; Dog-leg claim; Face to face; Independent tronc operator; Mohajir; Paper trade document; Quasi-partnership; Rambo; SMS Message; Salami slicing; Screwed; SLAPP claim; and Zombie knife.

Brooke's Notary Hong Kong is the only reference work on notarial practice and procedure in Hong Kong, with references to the United Kingdom, Commonwealth and international jurisdictions. It covers important information including the functions and powers of notaries, the procedure for admission as a notary, the different classes of notary and the training and appointment of notaries, Hong Kong Notaries Practice Rules and other regulations governing the notarial profession, and the Hong Kong Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance to which notaries are subject to.

This third Hong Kong edition contains much new material on recent developments, in particular tracking developments in notarial practice such as the use and recognition of electronic signatures. In addition, the need for social distancing during the Covid-19 accelerated trends towards remote on-line notarisation.
