In the latest issue of Law Library Journal, Dennis Kim Prieto of Rutgers Law Library offers a timely and useful article on bilingual English-Spanish dictionaries. He reviews the latest lexicographic research to undercover criteria by which to judge bilingual legal dictionaries. The annotated bibliogrpahy at the end of the article will prove useful to acquisitions librarians as they make decisions about which dictionaries to buy. Dennis' article is a welcome addition to the understudied area of legal lexicography.
