Book Reviews of Burton's Legal Thesaurus, Fourth Edition (Burton's Legal Thesaurus)

Book Review: Useful book
Summary: 4 Stars

The book is very useful. However, the Latin phrases are probably no longer necessary in the U.S. legal practice.

I've noticed one error that is carried over from one edition to the next: in Index under the entry "in error" look for word "fallacioadmit." I speculate that a portion of text disappeared and fallacious was merged with admit. The words that follow admit do not appear to belong in the "in error" article.

8,000 legal terms, synonyms, definitions, and parts of speech - now fully updated and revised

"Prepared by lawyers, comprehensive, up-to-date, easy to use."

After twenty-five years as the standard-bearer of legal terminology, Burton's Legal Thesaurus continues to be an essential reference tool. In law, precision and accuracy is vital.
