This topic is most often refered to as simply "Legalism" in English. This dicitionary is designed as a Chinese to English dictionary but look-ups in the other direction should be made to work when practical. Also why not have a translation representing the most common form.

Editor: You haven't convinced me that 法家 means Legalism.
I don't think it means Legalism in the sentence 名家鄧析也曾被列入法家.
Certainly, other dictionaries prefer to define 法家 as a school rather than its ideology:
- Key: the Legalist school of thought
- New Century: Legalist school; Legalists
- ABC: Legalists
- New Age: Legalists; Legalist school

Similarly, ABC defines 儒家 as "Confucian school" and 儒教 as Confucianism.
