Third Edition
Bryan Garner

- Existing entries have been updated with fresh writing and thousands of new illustrative quotations from judicial opinions and leading lawbooks
- Dozens of sets of near-synonyms that have long perplexed lawyers are now concisely defined and differentiated
- For the first time ever, sources are consistently cited throughout, and a solid majority of citations are post-2000
- Asterisks now precede words and phrases that are invariably inferior forms, making it easy for readers to tell which ones to avoid.
- Much greater depth has been achieved in particular areas of law, such as immigration and intellectual property
- More examples from British English sources are included, to illustrate the similarities and differences between American and British English, and to aid readers using foreign common-law sources
