Penn State Dickinson 1L
This dictionary/edition is very helpful for giving accurate and concise definitions. I don't take it to class, but I have it next to meet at all times when doing homework and usually write the definitions next to words that I didn't know. Every...

Great Gift!
My daughter just graduated from college with a paralegal degree and wanted the Black's Law Dictionary. I got it as a gift for her and she was thrilled with the quality of this book. I was also impressed with what I got for the price!

Comprehensive and heavy!
If you're in a law class or pre-law, this is a great book. However, if your aspirations aren't in law, just go and reference it at your local library. VERY heavy book

This is the most prominent legal dictionary. However, I must recommend against buying. This is especially for first year law students who hear it quoted a lot their first few weeks and think it is a necessity for law school. It's not. You...

Black's Law Dictionary ROCKS!
If you are an attorney and do not buy this book it is either because you cannot afford it or because you already have a copy. Even if you have an earlier copy, the new edition is better. Therefore, pull out the credit card and get the new one!

No extra bells and whistles, just perfect.
Next to my law texts, Blacks is the most important book I have as a first year law student. Everything is in this book--every latin or french phrase, every abbreviation, etc. I've not grown up with lawyers, so I frequently find myself clueless as...

Good effort
I just finished reading "Black's Law Dictionary," and I must say I disagree with many of the reviews on this board. I thought the story was fairly uninteresting and the characters one-dimensional. It started strong (the "animus capiendi" scene...
