Today, I am going to tell you about Black' law Dictionary as it is a famous dictionary all over the world. Not only the USA but also the other countries use this dictionary. Whenever I heard about the dictionary thought that it would be a great dictionary for me to learn legal terms. yes, it is so. I think you might be asked to give a good reference about the dictionary in your interview or anywhere. Note that it is hard to collect the original version. We use its copy because its original copy is very cotly indeed. Let's see who was the creator of the dictionary.
Dictionary name: Black's Law Dictionary Status: It is the most widely used law dictionary in the United States.
Founder: It was founded by Henry Campbell Black (1860–1927).
Fields of use: For definitions in legal briefs and court opinions and has been cited as a secondary legal authority in many U.S. Supreme Court cases.
Last edition: 9th, its pocket versions, are useful starting points for the layman or student when faced with an unfamiliar legal term.
History:
The first edition: It was, at first, published in 1891.
The second edition: in 1910.
The sixth and earlier editions of the book also provided case citations for the term cited, which some lawyers view as its most useful feature, providing a useful starting point with leading cases. The Internet made legal research easier than it ever had been, so many state- or circuit-specific case citations and outdated or overruled case citations were dropped from the seventh edition in 1999. The eighth edition introduced a unique system of perpetually updated case citations and cross-references to legal encyclopedias.
The ninth edition was published in the summer of 2009. Because many legal terms are derived from a Latin root word, the Dictionary gives a pronunciation guide for such terms.
Bibliography: For your convenience, I gave its bibliography.
