A focused, invaluable guide to nonprofit legal terminology and
definitions
The Bruce R. Hopkins Nonprofit Law Dictionary is a
thorough professional reference for the terminology and definitions
surrounding the law of tax-exempt organizations. Author Bruce R.
Hopkins, the country’s leading expert in nonprofit law, draws upon
45 years of practice to deliver a true dictionary reference for
attorneys specializing in nonprofit law and tax law. The book’s
terminology and definitions are derived from constantly changing
statutes, government agency regulations and rulings, court
opinions, and government forms and instructions, with citations
provided where appropriate. Modeled after a conventional
dictionary, this book offers quick navigation to the information of
interest, and points you toward the other Hopkins guides that
provide more in-depth information should you require it.
The devil is in the details, and nowhere is that statement truer
than in the legal profession. Incorrect interpretation of a single
phrase can cause consequences for both client and attorney, and
verbiage may be intentionally vague with unexpectedly broad or
narrow definitions. This guide gives you the most commonly accepted
interpretations of terminology related specifically to nonprofit
law, so you can feel confident in the quality of service you
provide to your clients.
* Stay up to date on the latest in nonprofit law
* Confirm the accepted definitions of legal terms and
phrases
* Learn where to turn for deeper guidance on specific topics
* Gain expert insight into obscure and complex definitions
Stop spending time wading through textbooks and case law, only
to wonder whether or not the information you eventually found
applies to nonprofit law in the same way. Focused specifically on
the law as it applies to the nonprofit sector, the Bruce R.
Hopkins Nonprofit Law Dictionary is an indispensable reference
that gives you the information you need quickly and easily.
