Biennial

What does Biennial mean in American Law?

The definition of Biennial in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

Once every two years. Some U.S. States have their legislatures meet only biennially, though there is a clear trend toward annual sessions. A two year period is called a “biennium,” as in “The Connecticut legislature has appropriated $136 million for education for the 1980-1982 biennium.” Biennial should not be confused with “Biannual” which means the same as “semi-annual,” i.e., twice every year, i.e., every six months. But the confusion is understandably epidemic, and it is safest to say explicitly “every two years,” “twice a year,” etc. when that”s what one means.
