a slightly different name such as International Common Law Dictionary
That's a good idea. The generic name I'm using doesn't really describe it well.
And yes — it'll be really interesting to see what happens when I try to add Civil Law info. I mean, do they even explain the law over there? It's a whole other country. I kid, I kid. These will also be non-English, so that's another dimension of complexity.
Your thought about concepts not existing is a good one. Maybe a deft use of subject tags will help. I'm not convinced that LoC Subject Headings is the right choice, but they should handle anything under the sun. And they'll enable visitors to understand and filter the scope of the info.
