Best Answer

Primarily, you can use a law dictionary to look up legal terms. Depending upon the publisher, there may be additional features. For instance, the 2009 edition of Black's Law Dictionary has appendices that include abbreviations, Latin legal maxims, the U.S. Constitution, a list of the Supreme Court justices (and their dates of service), and a map of the federal-court circuits. Since Black's is a West Group publication, it has cross references to its Key Number system. Other dictionaries may include cross references to important cases that used specific terms.

How do you say je suis in french?

If it's a Legal-Term it would be in "Black's Dictionary", (any law-library has this Dictionary so the question s where's a Public Law Library you can go to since you have to be a law student to access most college law libray's). Maybe Black's Dictionary is on line? A Dictionary explains how to pronounce it, (i.e., You, (yoo)!Added: Jhay-SweeJe suis IS in french. In English, it translates to "I am"
