Hi everyone,

I'm doing an exam later this month and no on-line resources are allowed - hard copies only.

Any recommendations especially for current law dictionaries, as well as general dictionaries? (Langenscheidt probably in the latter instance).

Thanks for your suggestions.

Some suggestions Jan 6, 2021

You might look into updates of
Dietl/Lorenz, Wörterbuch für Recht, Wirtschaft und Politik, Vol. II Dictionary of Legal, Commercial and Political Terms

Romain/Byrd/Thielecke, Wörterbuch der Rechts-und Wirtschaftssprache, Vol. 2 Dictionary of Legal and Commercial Terms

I've also gotten a lot of use from
Hamblock/Wessels, Großwörterbuch Wirtschaftsenglisch

I haven't bought hardcopy dictionaries is years, so I don't know about the availability

I haven't bought hardcopy dictionaries is years, so I don't know about the availability of updated editions of the above.

You might check Kater-Verlag regarding availability.
Best of luck!

Much appreciated Kevin Jan 7, 2021

I went for the Hamblock/Wessels, Großwörterbuch Wirtschaftsenglisch. Reasonably priced for the UK. And decided to get an older edition of the Dietl. New edition just out, but at 160.00 sterling I reckoned the older one would do at a fraction of the cost

Thanks again!
