Editorial Reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars cheaper than the big book, June 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Handbook of Basic Law Terms (Black's Law Dictionary Series) (Paperback)
This book contains most of what you need for legal terms. Besides, who really needs to have their own copy of every legal term out there? Any library or firm you will ever study or work at will have the big version. All you need is a smaller one to carry around with you. And Black's still is the best.

2.0 out of 5 stars too small, August 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Handbook of Basic Law Terms (Black's Law Dictionary Series) (Paperback)
Although it is cheap, there's not very much in it. I was disappointed not to find any of the terms I needed reading cases for my first week of class. Spend the money and buy the regular 8th edition.
