Great app for convenient legal referencing when you don't want to search Google and have hundreds of different explanations or definitions pop up. Would have given it 5 stars, but it does NOT have the ability to alphabetically arrange my bookmarked definitions. I have to scroll all the way through the bookmarks to find the exact definition I'm looking for. That's pretty I convenient.

Easy and straight forward, no guess work or having to differentiate between the standard and legal definition of a word and trying to weed through different dictionaries hoping you are using the term correctly (especially when using on actual court documents and in front of a real judge, it does help your case a bit if you don't sound like a complete idiot). It's all legal terms all in one place. Very convenient and time saving. Thanks for this information!

Understanding Latin words and phrases helped me to better understand what I am reading. It offers tremendous benefits! Love it! I have also recommended its use to my students.
