Barron's Law Dictionary for iPhone

Via iPhone J.D. Lawyers Using iPhone, an interesting post titled Review: Barron's Law Dictionary for iPhone features a comparative review of three legal dictionaries applications available for iPhone; Black's Law Dictionary, Nolo's Plain English Legal Dictionary, and Barron's Law Dictionary.

Black's Law Dictionary contains over 43,000 definitions and costs $49.99. Nolo's Plain English Law Dictionary contains contains over 3,000 definitions written in plain English and is free.

The Barron's law Dictionary application fits neatly between these two offerings. Like the Nolo dictionary, the Barron's dictionary contains over 3,000 terms. Like Black's, the Barron's dictionary has more sophisticated definitions, although in my random check they seem to use less legalese than Black's. And the price of $14.99 fits between the other two dictionaries.

Nolo's Law Dictionary for iPhone

Via WisBlawg.com, Nolo has developed a free law dictionary for iPhones. It is available via iTunes and according to the iTunes description,

[i]t contains nearly 4000 legal terms defined in everyday, understandable language.

The dictionary is further described,

You'll find both the legal standards--Latin terms, courtroom jargon, contract basics--and newly minted terms that reflect the ever changing language of the law today. What does it mean to get "dooced"? Do you need that "pre-dup"? Had a run-in with a "patent troll" lately? Nolo is committed to finding and defining the latest twists in legal language that have entered our daily conversations--important words not found in other legal dictionaries. Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary is both authoritative and friendly, but it is not your grandfather's law dictionary.
