This dictionary is great if you're looking to learn a bit more about law and the legal system. It's more like a guide than a dictionary. But definetely worth it!!!! Great for teachers and international students!!

Oxford Dictionary of Law, Nov 19 2008
By Nino Kometiani - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Dictionary of Law (Paperback)
As for the dictionary itself, it's really good. Contains lots of information useful for any lawyer civil or criminal or etc. Contains any term you might need to know in law. So for it's content I'd give it 5 stars. But the reason I gave 3 stars is that the edition quality really dissapointed me. The paper quality is very poor - I honestly didn't expect this. If the paper quality gets better, for it's content, dictionary definitely deserves 5 stars.
