The ABA Journal’s G.M. Filisko has posted a comprehensive list of “70 Sizzling Apps” described as “lawyer-friendly favorites” in the October 2009 issue of the magazine.
We were pleased to see the Black’s Law Dictionary app make the list. The app, for the iPhone and iPod touch, sells for $49.99. Filisko talked to Jeff Richardson, of the iPhone JD blog, about it:
“People are used to apps being cheap, so instinctively people wonder whether it’s worth the money,” says Richardson. “But I think it’s a good value considering how much the book and a version on your computer cost.”
Richardson has reviewed the Black’s Law app in detail here. The app was built from the 8th edition of the dictionary. At this time, the current edition of Black’s Law is the 9th edition. West has not made a decision yet on future versions of the app.
