| Legal Dictionaries The practice of law requires the precise
use of words. While general unabridged dictionaries
define legal words of art, they do not do so with the
precision of a legal dictionary.
In the Witrz Labor Library we
have:
- Black's Law Dictionary
on the Dictionary Stand in the Law Library
- Words and Phrases in
the Law Reference section
Both of these sources differ from
general dictionaries by:
- Citing authority
- Paraphrasing the actual
language of the courts
You can also find legal
dictionaries on the Internet:
On WESTLAW look at the file BLACKS.
On LEXIS try LEXREF; BTINES.
