The ‘English-Romanian, Romanian-English Legal and Economic Dictionary’ includes legal, economic, financial, banking and administrative terms used in the field of competition, and microeconomics in general. It contains common law terms that have never been included in another book. To finish this dictionary project, the author has benefited by a Fulbright scholarship in applied linguistics at the English School of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, between 2002-3. The dictionary was published in 2005 by Niculescu Publishing.
The online access to the Legal and Economic Dictionary is free, in an attempt to increase the rather small number of online legal glossaries who are decently accurate, and of bilingual dictionaries which state their bibliography and have been drafted with expert consultation.
The online edition includes an additional number of banking terms to the published edition. As with the latter, any main entry refers to a specific self-standing concept, to which derivative concepts may be added. The selection criterion for additional terms has been the degree of complexity of the main entry, the number of derivatives and a sufficiently high degree of specificity.
