The Guide to the English Terminology of the Civil Code of Québec aims to explore some of the particularities of Quebec civil law as in its English-language manifestation. This innovative linguistic resource contains entries on words appearing in the English text of the Civil Code of Québec that have meanings which depart from everyday and idiomatic English, or which have a specific connotation or usage in the context of the Code. This Guide aims to be a resource for everyone learning, studying, practicing, teaching or translating law. To date eight entries have been prepared, and more will be added in the future.
The project has benefited from financial support from the Support Fund for Access to Justice in Both Official Languages, a program of the federal Department of Justice and from Young Canada Works.
