Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Excellent
I have studied all aspects of Tort, Family, Business, Criminal, Property, Land, Contract Law and Civil and Criminal Litigation at Level 3 and every word I have wanted to look up has been in this dictionary. It has been my life line throughout my studies. A must have for all law students at every level.

Rating:

- Excellent for Uni Students (Year 1 and 2)
I have just started my LLB(Hons) OU Law course and have used this many times. Great for any student studying Law at GCSE or LLB.

Great Stuff!!!

Rating:

- Love it!!!!!
No law student should be without a law dictionary... I bought this one last September because the last edition couldn't take another year of use!

Use my dictionary all the time, first place I go for every form of work!

Rating:

- Not so useful for Scottish Law Students
Hmm... The differences in terminology between the Scots and English Law systems is very evident in this book. I've owned it for 18 months, and more often than not it doesn't have what I need.

There are better (free!) online legal dictionary services.

Rating:

- Excellent - even my boss think's it's great!
I recently started work as a Legal Secretary for a firm of solicitors and wanted a book which gives the correct spellings and meanings of legal terms - this does the job perfectly. I refer to it a lot and my boss, a Partner in the firm, is so impressed with it that even he refers to it from time to time! It is well deserving of five stars.
