Without question, Black's is the quintessential dictionary for lawyers, paralegals and others involved with the legal trade. Foolishly, it is not available in electronic format (a' la CD). There is a critical need for that. Forget the overpriced 7th edition released in Fall 1999. It is not worth $20 more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful resource for law terms., October 11, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a helpful book of law terms. I am doing some various study, and it is helpful to have this available. I also am starting the Jurisdictionary package to help my learning. All in all, glad to have made the purchase of this version, as new ones tend to dilute previous information.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential reference for criminal justice students., June 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Black's Law Dictionary with Pronunciations, Sixth Edition (Hardcover)
Black's Law Dictionary should be a required purchase for college freshmen, especially criminal justice majors. This book will be utilized on numerous occassions in an academic career and will continue its usefulness well into the student's professional career. (Submitted by a community college criminal justice instructor, former university adjunct associate professor and police officer.)
