5 out of 5 stars Blacks Law Dictionary   December 28, 2007
Great classic reference book. Exactly as described, and very useful. Blacks is the expert reference book for all thing legal.


4 out of 5 stars Better than using the online version   April 15, 2007
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

In my opinion blacks online (through west) is too cumbersome to use. too many redirects and long paragraphs. But this book is not essential either. You'll know the phrases you need after your first month or so, and all the legal libraries have a bunch of these all over the place. Bringing it to class is almost impossible because it's so big. But it is nice to have also. I would recommend this over the 8th edition because it's so much cheaper. I don't see much difference between the two. This will sit in my office throughout my career. However it's use will continue to be limited more and more.


5 out of 5 stars Priceless!!!   February 19, 2007

Black's Law Dictionary is worth it's weight in gold. I used it in my research in learning about investment opportunities and basic common law terms. It is very easy to used and the price is right. I am glad that it is part of my personal library.I purchased this book in 2005 and I have been very pleased with it.


5 out of 5 stars Indespensible Dictionary!   January 10, 2007
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This dictionary will be well worn! It is indespensible and sits at my desk. Clear, concise easy reading print. It is one that you can't do without. With a tremendous amount of reading to be done as a student, this dictionary was printed with that in mind making a lot less a chore to use.


4 out of 5 stars It Helps   December 28, 2006

I bought this book for a class I took while I was an undergrad, and I used this book almost as much as I used the text for the class. I was able to find almost everything I needed, and in the end, it was worth having. I would recommend this for anyone taking law classes, however, I would buy a used copy because new copies can be a little pricy.
