Black’s Law Dictionary has more than 43,000 definitions, plus almost 3,000 quotations. Alternative spellings or equivalent terms and expressions are provided for more than 5,300 terms and senses, serving a thesaurus-like function. The extensive appendix on legal abbreviations is a major addition.

Some of the new terms appearing for the first time include “Amber Alert,” “antispamming law,” “Child Online Protection Act,” “cyberpiracy,” “cyberterrorism,” “chad,” “repressed-memory syndrome,” “ethnic cleansing,” “Strategic National Stockpile,” and “grandparent rights.”
