2.		Black's Law Dictionary (Pocket), 3rd Edition from Thomson West Price: $29.70 Customer Review: 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.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Legal Writing in Plain English: A Text With Exercises from University Of Chicago Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Simply put, this is a handy writing guide for lawyers.

8.		The Elements of Legal Style from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $19.80 Customer Review: This book gets a 5/5 for substance but a 1/5 for style. To be fair, the writer of any book about writing has the heightened duties of the bomb-disposal technician or the internal affairs detective. Garner is fastidious to a fault and, given his audience, this is understandable. But the final... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
