Reviews:

• The need for such a dictionary has been acutely felt....This dictionary and its planned counterparts should prove especially useful for those working with Russian emigrant communities in the United States.

• The dictionary will prove of the most immediate application to Russian court interpreters in the U.S., indeed, it seems to be tailor-made for their use. The author would not be surprised to learn that the two lexicographers who compiled this work are themselves court interpreters, so user-friendly is the book, and so clearly intended for the rough-and-tumble of court work....[A] valuable addition to any Slavist's professional library....[T]his dictionary is an excellent weapon in the struggle to make Russian-speaking defendants present and participants in their own legal proceedings.

  Executive Director
  Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association: What a great idea. English-Russian Dictionary of American Criminal Law is a unique and valuable resource. With the demise of the Cold War and the subsequent influx of Russian immigrants, this dictionary promises to be an increasingly valuable and relied upon document.
• Endorsement From Bruce W. Prunk
  Assistant Police Chief
  Portland Police Bureau: English-Russian Dictionary of American Criminal Law should be of great benefit to law enforcement officers and criminal investigators in their interactions with the Russian speaking community in the United States. It is critical to our work with Russian crime victims, witnesses and suspects that we have resources to assist us in accurately translating written communications. This Dictionary provides us an excellent reference for interacting with the Russian speaking community.
• Endorsement From Constance Emerson Crooker
  Attorney and author of The Art of Legal Interpretation and A Guide for Court interpreters: The authors, both topnotch legal interpreters, have miraculously bridged the linguistic chasm between countries which use significantly different legal systems. Their credentials come from the trenches of trial work as well as the ivory towers of academia. I hope we'll soon see court interpreters toting dog-eared copies of the English-Russian Dictionary of American Criminal Law.
