As far as any dictionary is concerned, this one is a bit short. If you work in the legal field, you probably know most terms included in it. If you are beginning or do not work with Law, this may be helpful.

It works. An actual “Black’s Law” book would have been better or an Oxford dictionary.

Very basic terms… this is good for a journalism major or anyone else (perhaps if you are reading a fictional law book) who wants to have a basic understanding of law terms. Good for the price.

Although it is cheap, there’s not very much in it. I was disappointed not to find any of the terms I needed reading cases for my first week of class. Spend the money and buy the regular 8th edition.
