Michele Triplett’s Fingerprint Dictionary

The book version is all definitions as of July 2015.
The web page is updated as definitions are added or modified.

Most court cases appear under “State of v. ” or “United States v.__”. This is done
intentionally so that the user does not need to know if a case was called “State v.”,
“Commonwealth v.” or “People v.”.
