Law Dictionary for Nonlawyers

Rating:
Summary: Good, But Unnecessary for Most Readers
Review: Oran and Tosti do a nice job of defining legal terms for the nonlawyer. As a professional who needs to understand legal terminology, however, I have found this book unnecessary. I bought "Law Dictionary for Nonlawyers" before I acquired "Black's Law Dictionary." The latter is so complete and has such clear definitions that I rarely even bother to use "Law Dictionary for Nonlawyers."

I strongly recommend that the layman buy and use "Black's Law Dictionary," rather than this or other legal dictionaries designed for laypersons.
