Here is a handy and accessible summary of present-day law that belongs on every legal reference shelf.
"The value of a good LAW DICTIONARY cannot be overstated. Most lawyers use Black's Law Dictionary for citation purposes, but this is the much better dictionary for comprehending legal terminology." -- Information Today
