A great purchase for legal translators !

I am studing to become a Legal Translator at university in Argentina and this dictionary is one of the best I have ever been able to consult.

Excellent value for the price

I am very pleased with this purchase. It will be used for a long time.

a home library must

If you do legal work at home, this dictionary is essential to have there. As a law student, I have unlimited access to the Westlaw version of Black's, but there are a great deal of missing entries in that format. I have literally never tried to look up a word in the hardbound version without finding it--not so with the online or pocket versions. It is also an excellent citation source for basic legal facts, something you can't do with the internet version because of the lack of page numbers. Perhaps a little expensive for a student, but this sturdy, long-lasting volume will pay for itself by saving you time.
