The Universal Authority for Legal Definitions
When the stakes are high, when failure is not an option, when there wont be a second chance, when reputations are on the table, there is only one book that you should have on your desk for legal definitions, and that book is Black's Law Dictionary. For years, Black's Law Dictionary has been a staple at firms large and small alike, serving as an invaluable reference when one needs a universally accepted and respected definition of a term.
Cases are often made (or not made) based not on a cold, dry reading of the law itself but rather the efficiency with which the practitioner conveys his point and makes it stand on its own. A compelling brief is often short but makes extensive use of powerful language to grab the reader's attention and hold it. A well written pleading will have it's reader thinking about the points made therein long after the proceeding has concluded.
This is a reference volume you will refer to time and time again, it is well worth the expense and no other product can compare. A mechanic is only as good as his tools, and a legal practitioner is only as good as the research materials he has access to.
Black's Law Dictionary is the most concise, most complete collection of legal definitions ever assembled.
