Deans Law Dictionary

Most of the key elements of law are not easily defined simple to understand definitions. This is because they are idiomatic expressions.

Dean's is the only dictionary that explains in detail these idiomatic expressions so that you have a complete understanding of the concept and how different lawyers and courts use that concept.

Case in point is the definition for Felony Murder. Black's Law Dictionary uses about 125 words and no case cites to define the concept of Felony Murder. Read their definition and you will understand why you need to use Dean's.

Dean's has 23 definitions and sub definitions for Felony Murder including a comparison definition. In total about 23000 words along with 2000 plus case cites. (We stopped counting at 2000).
