Not As Great As Expected,
This review is from: Random House Webster's American Sign Language Legal Dictionary (Paperback)
I admit it. I'm not a big fan of Elaine Costello. It seems to be that a lot of the signs in this book are English...not ASL. Of course, there aren't that many books out there about legal sign language, so it is helpful to a point. Just make sure before you start using the signs that they are true ASL signs and not Signed English.

This is a great resource for interpreters! Legal interpreting is nerve racking enough. So knowing that I have a clear understanding of the vocabulary, and how to sign it, is a huge relief! I reccomend this dictionary to all professional interpreters, it's a must-have!
