Reviewed in India on 6 October 2021Verified Purchase
This is good. I like how we can navigate through the word meanings. This is good for people who are taking legal help or for lawyers who are doing a case. I recommend to have this for people like them. I also think people who are going to discuss a case should have a law dictionary too and this book will be good for them.
