Reprint of the second edition. Originally published: St. Paul, Minn.: West Publishing, 1910. 1314 pp. This reprint of Black's classic dictionary incorporates many new definitions and additional citations to decided cases, besides being a thorough revision of previous entries. Also included are many Latin and French terms overlooked in the first edition. Medical jurisprudence in particular is enriched, with new definitions for insanity and pathological and criminal insanity. The second edition (1910) is an essential complement to the first edition (1891) as it provides the scholar and student of law important insights into the rapid development of law at the turn of the century. The second edition is also notable for its revamped system of arrangement, with all compound and descriptive terms subsumed under their related main entries. Libraries, students, historians, and practitioners will all benefit from this historically significant research tool.

Formatting problems,

This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary [Second Edition] (Kindle Edition)
I agree with the other review of this edition I see here--there are some serious formatting problems with this particular electronic edition. It is very difficult to find the definition one is looking for in this Kindle edition--paragraph and page breaks, and, in particular, breaks between separate definitions, are missing or are not in the proper places.

Law Dictionary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary: Second Edition (Hardcover)
This is one of the most reliable law dictionary ever made. Even if you are from a country with a different legal system, you can still use it for your references.

Completely useless,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary [Second Edition] (Kindle Edition)
This review is for the kindle version of Black's law dictionary (Kindle Fire) and not Black's law dictionary itself. The kindle version is impossible to use. The text is completely jumbled with no spaces in between definitions, making them all run together. In addition there is no way to search other than the text search on the kindle, making it very difficult and time consuming to find the definition that you are looking for.
