You can probably get all the defs of the words you need off of Westlaw, but it's much more convenient to have this book next to you for you to thumb through real quick. I'm half-way through my first semester and my book is already roughed up and tattered from use.

As a working librarian, I had this valuable dictionary near my desk through several incarnations. Patrons searching to understand their insurance policies, a court order, a contract and other legal documents expected the librarian to know all the words. With "Black's Law Dictionary" we were able to decipher most of the jargon to the patron's satisfaction.
I have added it to my personal writing reference shelf to make sure a character is using the proper term and it is spelled correctly in our stories.

It's really a pocket size. You can carry it on your backpack along with your notebook pc and other books. Has the basic terms, but it's ok for classes.

This has been the best investment I've made since I started law school. It makes my life so much easier when it comes to reading homework assignments. Every law student should have one.
Awesome! September 18, 2009

I'm a LL.M. student, and this dictionary really does a great favor in my learning of the U.S. Law. I was used to using the original version of Black's Law Dictionary during my prior job. Therefore, I bougut this pocket dictionary for my present study.
