Anyone know of a good online dictionary? I'm doing research for a debate topic (two, actually) in Speech and Debate, and we have to define key words in the resolution (if we want to have a good chance of beating our opponent, anyway). Most of the words need legal definitions. Black's Law Dictionary has great definitions, but I can't get it free online. :( And I don't have the money to buy the download. :( Any ideas?
Wikipedia isn't very reliable, by the way. I wouldn't use dictionary.com, either. ...Any suggestions??

Sorry, help312, but I don't think that'll work. It looks like you have to pay for it, and I have ZERO money.

jms043: Yes, I have tried the public library, and they happen to have a Black's Law Dictionary (don't know which edition), but I don't live within walking distance, and people in my family are busy, and usually, nobody has the time to drive me there. And I can't drive myself there because I can't drive.

jms043: And most lawyers happen to use Black's Law Dictionary (at least that's what I read in an article).

Try thewebpastor.com
Click the bible study book when the page downloads. Wait for page to load and then scroll down for the webster's dictionary. This is also a great christian site for study helps. They have two webster dictionaries to use. One is real old the other is newer. Hope this helps. Its free to.

wordweb - google it and acquire it. this is spectacular. Its like a information superhighway dictionary, yet as quickly as you acquire it, this is completely on the computer, information superhighway or no longer. you purely press f7 or regardless of you're making the hotkey and regardless of the final be conscious you typed, or regardless of be conscious is highlighted, the field will arise with its definition etc.

Have you tried the public library? The only other way I can think of is to ask a lawyer to use his dictionary. LOL
