Could you please explain the difference between contract and agreement? Is there actually any difference between these two terms in American/British legal system? For example in the text below the terms are expressly distinguished. «It was all handled according to numbers,» Virginia said. «General classifications. For instance, number one to a thousand was personal correspondence. Number one thousand to three thousand represented contracts . Three thousand to five thousand, probate. Five thousand to six thousand, wills. Six thousand to eight thousand, agreements .

Attorneys and deponents frequently make up their own series of words to explain things. Court reporting school teaches certain things for punctuation, yet I can't find the rule to verify it. My first example is correct: sixteenth-century-type dress, meaning to dress in the style of what they wore in the sixteenth century. This second example is where I have difficulty: sixteenth century type of dress OR sixteenth-century type of dress? Logic would dictate that sixteeth-century modifies "type," but court reporting schools teach that when "of" follows, there is no hyphen. Where is a rule to support this one way or the other. I'm baffled.
