I work in Native American Gaming Regulation as an Executive Director of our Gaming Commission and I have to say that the Blacks Law Dictionary is one of my most valuable tools. This Dictionary is utilized when doing our complete Licensing Employment background checks that include criminal and financial checks. Some of the legal documents that we review have terms in them that this dictionary helps us decipher. We also utilize this in our Enforcement Division and it is extremely helpful when determining whether all elements of a crime have been met to pursue prosecutions. Also included in this Dictionary are term definitions that we utilize when researching for our Audit Division. It is probably the most complete and concise reference book in our Library. Each one of our Divisions that includes Administration, Enforcement, Licensing, Audit and Surveillance have their own copy. This particular Edition (the 8th Edition and newest) has the terms and definitions and then goes on to show how the term is utilized in a sentence, which the previous Editions don't have. However, for simplicity, I find the 6th Edition a little more user friendly due to the fact that it has the alphabetized edge labels that helps expedite locating the term that we are looking for. With all of that said, I would highly recommend any of the Editions for any lawyer, paralegal, Law Library or any Regulatory and/or Enforcement occupation. A Blacks Law Dictionary is a "must have" for any of the above occupations and is well worth the price. Jhan Smith, Exec. Director, Tribal Gaming CommissionRead full review

I am currently enrolled in a paralegal program, and this dictionary was recommended to me by my professor. I used it immediately. This dictionary has legal definitions, legal maxims, legal abbreviations, and a section on the United States Contsitution. It has been very helpful to me in my studies. Most law offices have a Black's Law Dictionary, as it is pretty standard. I plan on using mine after school when I open my own office. Honestly, I would recommend this book to anyone in any kind of legal studies program, because you will find it useful. Also, anyone that is interested in learning about the law, or curious about what legal terms mean would find this book useful as well. I believe that Black's Law Dictionary is hands down better than others out there, because it is so complete, as well as it is the one preferred by legal professionals. I am glad I bought mine and will use it for many years to come. It is worth the investment.Read full review
