Customer Reviews

Rating: - Very weak on international law
Ok on basic UK law but incredibly weak on international law including errors (The Inter-American system of Human Rights does not just cover South America. It covers all member states of the OAS including in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, with differences depending on whether the American Convention has been ratified or not). Oxford - and lawyers - should not be so lazy.

Rating: - Excellent
I have studied all aspects of Tort, Family, Business, Criminal, Property, Land, Contract Law and Civil and Criminal Litigation at Level 3 and every word I have wanted to look up has been in this dictionary. It has been my life line throughout my studies. A must have for all law students at every level.

Rating: - Excellent for Uni Students (Year 1 and 2)
I have just started my LLB(Hons) OU Law course and have used this many times. Great for any student studying Law at GCSE or LLB.

Great Stuff!!!

Rating: - Love it!!!!!
No law student should be without a law dictionary... I bought this one last September because the last edition couldn't take another year of use!

Use my dictionary all the time, first place I go for every form of work!

Rating: - Not so useful for Scottish Law Students
Hmm... The differences in terminology between the Scots and English Law systems is very evident in this book. I've owned it for 18 months, and more often than not it doesn't have what I need.

There are better (free!) online legal dictionary services.
