 Black's Law Dictionary Digital Bundle March 4, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The only disapointing problem about this "digital" Bundle is that there is NO software. Instead you download a kind of "browser" that is in your toolbar, Much like a Google/Yahoo toolbar. So if you are off line, this does not work, disappointing to me. It is not as readily accessible as a software install that is always there when you need it. I have gained more use from the book than the software, so I would recommend you buy something else for your $$ such as the full version of Black's Law than this software. You can copy/cut and paste the info from the website directly into your paperwork is a good benefit though.

It's really a pocket size. You can carry it on your backpack along with your notebook pc and other books. Has the basic terms, but it's ok for classes.

In virtually no place on Amazon's website, is there the warning that the digital edition is NOT a CD --you must download it from a website-- and the only way you can use is if you have a WinTel machine: The download is an .exe file, and that doesn't work with the Mac OS.
Next, any document worth owning anymore, is a PDF file, which is completely searchable. It takes up very much less space that program written specifically for the task. Additionally, Adobe's PDF documents work across several platforms.
The people responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves, to think that the only computer operating systems used by law professionals are WinTel machines.

This has been the best investment I've made since I started law school. It makes my life so much easier when it comes to reading homework assignments. Every law student should have one.

As a working librarian, I had this valuable dictionary near my desk through several incarnations. Patrons searching to understand their insurance policies, a court order, a contract and other legal documents expected the librarian to know all the words. With "Black's Law Dictionary" we were able to decipher most of the jargon to the patron's satisfaction.
I have added it to my personal writing reference shelf to make sure a character is using the proper term and it is spelled correctly in our stories.
