This dictionary is easy to read and very helpful for anyone looking up law terms. A great addition to any reference library.
 This book has a great reputation, but... April 24, 2008

I read a news story sometime during the summer of 2008, don't remember which month, but you can probably find it if you google it. It sheds light on ridiculous legal terms.
Henry Campbell Black had never intended - or even imagined - that his dictionary would become the authoritative source for legal terminology. "My great granddad had actually written the text for an upcoming firm skit night. It was his way of showing how convoluted and, well, pompous the legal profession had become." The dictionary became an instant hit, however, and Henry Black's comedic intentions went unnoticed. When the money started to roll in, Black elected to pursue a highly lucrative career in legal publishing instead of becoming a marginally talented prop comic.
When asked why the family is revealing the fake after all this time, they stated that they had grown tired of living a lie, and were genuinely concerned that the universally accepted legal lexicon "is actually just a bunch of made-up gibberish."
>> So legal "mumbo-jumbo" is based a joke. I suspected as much.
