.Black's Law Dictionary (Pocket), 3rd Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
from: Thomson West

June 22, 2006
Blacks is the best on the market in terms of law dictionaries. However, the downside is you need an internet connection for it and that is not always the most convenient for those with limited internet access. So much nicer when you can just save things to your computer if you choose.

City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Richard Michael Fischl, Jeremy Paul

May 26, 1999
Reading this book took a huge weight off my shoulders before law school. This book is a crash course not only in how to succeed in law school, but also how to think about the law as a whole. The lessons learned here are designed to frame your legal education, and helps you learn a surefire, if not complex, method to taking all law exams and tacking legal problems.

The ALWD Citation Manual is better than the Bluebook because of its organization and its clarity. It truly is much easier to use than the competition.

.Black's Law Dictionary: Abridged Version (Dictionary)
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Henry Campbell Black

August 01, 2005
If you do legal work at home, this dictionary is essential to have there. As a law student, I have unlimited access to the Westlaw version of Black's, but there are a great deal of missing entries in that format. I have literally never tried to look up a word in the hardbound version without finding it--not so with the online or pocket versions. It is also an excellent citation source for basic legal facts, something you can't do with the internet version because of the lack of page numbers. Perhaps a little expensive for a student, but this sturdy, long-lasting volume will pay for itself by saving you time.

.The Winning Brief: 100 Tips for Persuasive Briefing in Trial and Appellate Courts
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Bryan A. Garner

May 13, 2004
The book looks helpful at first glance but we'll see what happens when the semester gets rolling and it matters. I usually find that buying these books is an inevitable trap I fall into with disappointing results. But, in all fairness I haven't given this book much of a shot yet. Amazon is excellent - obviously.

.Legal Writing in Plain English: A Text With Exercises
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Bryan A. Garner

June 05, 2001
Simply put, this is a handy writing guide for lawyers. Just casually flipping through this book for a few minutes will make you a better writer. For example, I especially like the lists, which give you substitutes for legalese or summarize styles that Judges like. Briefly reading through this book taught me more than I learned in an entire semester of Legal Research & Writing. I highly recommend it.
