5.0 out of 5 stars Every law student needs one, October 21, 2007

By	Mardy Berlinger "law student" (Grand Forks, ND USA) - See all my reviews

This has been the best investment I've made since I started law school. It makes my life so much easier when it comes to reading homework assignments. Every law student should have one.

4.0 out of 5 stars LEGAL DEFINITIONS, January 13, 2007

By	JOJOE ROGERS "J. R." - See all my reviews

FOR THE YEAR THIS BOOK WAS PRINTED THE LEXICOGRAPHICAL ENTRIES WERE VERY ACCURATE. ADDING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION TO THE APPENDIX WAS A NICE BONUS.

5.0 out of 5 stars the law student's bible, November 4, 2006

By	Dot (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

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.
