About this glossary
Turkish law uses precise civil-law terminology that often has no direct one-word translation in English. To avoid misleading readers, the full glossary is maintained in Turkish, where each term can be defined in the exact statutory language used by Turkish courts and authorities.
Topics covered include family and inheritance law, contracts and commercial law, criminal law, criminal procedure, civil procedure, enforcement and bankruptcy, and administrative and data-protection concepts.
