Customer Reviews

Good for the Scots - not so good for the English and Welsh
I bought this book on the basis of a five star rating given to it some time ago.
I have since been disappointed not to find, inter alia, definitions of "Bare Trusts" or "Prescriptive Rights".
Perhaps, they are buried somewhere in the book under the Scots Law equivalent terms.
It's a good book for non-English Law definitions, but not so good if you are an English or Welsh man buying the book as a reference point for English Law terms.

Excellent, informative and really handy for a law dictionary
This book is really a great benefit to anyone wanting to know more about certain law terms, whether they be working, studying in a law environment or simply interested in law. The terms are explained clearly and instructive. I would thoroughly recommend this book for anyone interested in the law that may need clarification on words and terms.
