5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Reference, June 23, 2009

S. J. Makielski (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Law Dictionary (Barron's Legal Guides) (Vinyl Bound)

Should you have any interest in the law -- and who among us does not? -- this handy
book is an absolute must. It is smaller, and therefore less comprehensive, than the
Black's Law Dictionary, but for that reason it is easier to use and carry with you.
There are, I found, few topics left uncovered -- most of them in U.S. Constitional Law --
but in all other areas the book is extremely valuable.
