Professional Review:
Edited by Bryan A. Garner, the world’s leading legal lexicographer, Black’s Law Dictionary, 8th Edition is now better than ever! The new 8th Edition has more than 43,000 definitions, plus almost 3,000 quotations. Alternative spellings or equivalent terms and expressions are provided for more than 5,300 terms and senses, serving a thesaurus-like function. The extensive appendix on legal abbreviations is a major addition. It’s the first time such a comprehensive guide has been included in a modern law dictionary, and is an invaluable aid to the legal researcher.
-17,000 more definitions than the 7th Edition
-Newly enhanced with West Key Numbers for research reference
-Includes changes made since the creation of the department of Homeland Security
-Almost 3,000 quotations from authorities drawn from sources over at least five centuries
-More than 1,000 law-related abbreviations and acronyms are defined
-Extensive appendix on legal abbreviations
-Faculty recommended

 Rating 5   Written on September 27, 2007

   Summary: Penn State Dickinson 1L
This dictionary/edition is very helpful for giving accurate and concise definitions. I don't take it to class, but I have it next to meet at all times when doing homework and usually write the definitions next to words that I didn't know. Every law student should have a dictionary, pocket size or otherwise, and this one was recommended to me so I recommend it to you.

   Summary: Great Gift!
My daughter just graduated from college with a paralegal degree and wanted the Black's Law Dictionary. I got it as a gift for her and she was thrilled with the quality of this book. I was also impressed with what I got for the price!

   Summary: Better than using the online version
In my opinion blacks online (through west) is too cumbersome to use. too many redirects and long paragraphs. But this book is not essential either. You'll know the phrases you need after your first month or so, and all the legal libraries have a bunch of these all over the place. Bringing it to class is almost impossible because it's so big. But it is nice to have also. I would recommend this over the 8th edition because it's so much cheaper. I don't see much difference between the two. This will sit in my office throughout my career. However it's use will continue to be limited more and more.

   Summary: Comprehensive and heavy!
If you're in a law class or pre-law, this is a great book. However, if your aspirations aren't in law, just go and reference it at your local library. VERY heavy book
