About the Author
Acknowledged by linguists and lawyers alike as THE authority in legal language and usage, his influence is both far-reaching and profound. Mr. Garner has has a hand in editing the most important legal references produced in the last decade, as well as in training lawyers and judges on sharpening and clarifying their own legal writing. In short, no one better bridges the worlds of law and language--nor is better suited to take on the classic work and make it better.

This is T H E Law dictionary!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary: Deluxe Thumb-Index (Hardcover)
Magnificent, comprehensive dictionary, covering definitions thoroughly. Also contains legal maxims (latin), which are very useful, and a copy of the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Human Rights Declaration. A must have for any lawyer, or anyone whose activities involve the law (basically everyone).

Good for lawyers, not needed for law students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary: Deluxe Thumb-Index (Hardcover)
Black's is widely regarded as the ultimate authority for the definition of legal terms. I bought the leather-bound version on the first day of law school, but never used it once. (A law student can get by with a paperback legal dictionary.) However, I HAVE used this book as a practicing attorney. I once used it as authority in a brief, and the judge actually relied on the Black's definition to justify his order in my favor.

Black's Law Dictionary,

This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary: Deluxe Thumb-Index (Hardcover)
This book is indispensable for those who deal with any type of legal matters. The first day I owned it, it clarified a local government issue with which I was involved. It's definitions are succinct and appears to be as complete a volume as is available. I highly recommend this book.
