Beyer (law, St. Mary's U., San Antonio, Texas) updates the earlier editions he and Redden (1917-98) produced, without mentioning when they appeared. The dictionary, which does not indicate pronunciation, defines some 10,000 words used in legal situations. It emphasizes modern terminology, including slang and colloquial references, and terms not easily located in other reference works. Readers are expected to be attorneys, judges, professors, students, paralegals, legal secretaries, and researchers. Extensive cross-referencing mitigates the lack of an index. There are no bibliographical references. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
