the law student's bible,
By Dot (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary (Pocket), 3rd Edition (Paperback)
You can probably get all the defs of the words you need off of Westlaw, but it's much more convenient to have this book next to you for you to thumb through real quick. I'm half-way through my first semester and my book is already roughed up and tattered from use.

Have internet access? Then why buy?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary (Pocket), 3rd Edition (Paperback)
While this dictionary is not bad, I've found that I encounter many terms in law school that are not in there. Then I'll do an internet search and find that missing term, usually with ease. Now I usually check the internet first. Really the only reason to buy a legal dictionary, like any dictionary, is if you think you will need it because you would have no computer or internet access. Otherwise, save your money.

Words of Law,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary (Pocket), 3rd Edition (Paperback)
As a working librarian, I had this valuable dictionary near my desk through several incarnations. Patrons searching to understand their insurance policies, a court order, a contract and other legal documents expected the librarian to know all the words. With "Black's Law Dictionary" we were able to decipher most of the jargon to the patron's satisfaction.
I have added it to my personal writing reference shelf to make sure a character is using the proper term and it is spelled correctly in our stories. Nash Black, author of "Qualifying Laps" and "Taxes, Stumbling Blocks for Authors 2007."
