Customer Reviews

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.

Good and concise
It's a really good law dictionary that covered every important and basic terms and events in there. It's comprehensive and concise. It would be a really helpful reference or tool book or undergraduate or a-level law students.
