What a great surprise

I have practiced law in New York City for 23 years and I ordered this book for my secretary to help her with the spelling of legal terms. I took a look at it before giving it to her and was amazed at the quality of this dictionary. Very complex legal ideas are reduced to common sense definitions. The definitions cover virtually all fields of law. This book even has an attitude; I especially enjoy lines like "In the many states where fornication is still a crime, there are a lot of criminals." I wish I'd had this in law school. I bought a second copy for my desk.
