Law related words in GRE Revised Test


What is law? What it really means to you? Have you ever tried to breach the law? We can define law in different ways. So define as you like but it’s an ultimate truth that, we have to abide with a law.  When I take a survey with various students taking GRE classes by administering the GRE words related with law, most of them (who came from other backgrounds except law) scored very poorly in the survey. So today ubiquitous law words a GRE students must know. Guys, do find where you stand!!!!!! 
  1. Arbiter (n): person with power to decide a matter in dispute; judge
  2. Arbitrate (v): act as judge
  3. Accomplice (n): Partner in crime
