Abstract
The paper analyzes some English and Russian legal terms designating different areas of law. A contrastive analysis of definitions of some legal terms is being conducted. Dictionary translation equivalents are also examined as well as the terminology used in English and Russian professional literature. The paper concludes that the country's legal system influences the terms used in a particular area, the meaning of terms may be partially different in English and Russian, which in turn should be taken into consideration by a translator.
