Legal Thesaurus? Forum

Hi Everyone:

I am a new 1L, and was recently told it's a good idea to get a legal thesaurus for school. What is your take on this? What is the difference between a legal thesaurus and a regular non-legal one?

Totally unnecessary, and I've also never heard of it?

You will need to look up legal words and phrases, but google is probably superior in every way to an actual legal dictionary.

E&E's are helpful for most 1L subjects. a thesaurus isn't necessary, or even helpful, at all.

you don't need one

you also absolutely don't need a law dictionary, ignore any boomer wisdom to the contrary
googling terms is superior as tsl said
and if for some weird reason you actually did need a legit law dictionary, i'm p sure blacks is on westlaw
