This reference book is a truly exhaustive guide to legal terms – if you’re looking for a comprehensive legal dictionary then this is it! Not only does it cover every legal term known to man (we think!), it tells you all about their historical usage – even usages that are now defunct. If you’re ever looking into old cases, or drawing upon old legal arguments, you’ll soon find out why that’s so useful. The hardback edition is complete so that’s the one we’d recommend.
