Family Law Glossary (Common Law)
User’s GuideTerminology Bulletin 271
The Family Law Glossary (Common Law) is part of a project undertaken in 1981 by the National Program for the Integration of Both Official Languages in the Administration of Justice (POLAJ) now known as Promoting Access to Justice in Both Official Languages (PAJLO), to standardize French common law terminology. It covers 1 924 concepts examined by the Centre de traduction et de terminologie juridiques (CTTJ) of the Université de Moncton (which also coordinated the project), the Centre for Legal Translation and Documentation (CLTD) of the University of Ottawa and the Translation and Terminology Centre of the Translation Bureau of Canada (TTC-TB). These centres received assistance from the Centre de ressources en français juridique (CRFJ) of the Université de Saint-Boniface in Winnipeg, the Centre canadien de français juridique inc. (CCFJ) in Winnipeg, and the Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law of McGill University in Montréal.
The term-analysis documents used by the Standardization Committee to standardize the French equivalents may be consulted on the CTTJ's website (available only in French).
The Standardization Committee would like to express its gratitude to the User Committee members, who so kindly provided their comments.The contributions of the jurilinguistic centres to this project have been made possible by funding from the Department of Justice Canada under the Access to Justice in Both Official Languages Support Fund.
