Black's Law 2nd Ed.
For those strapped for cash, here's a downloadable copy of Black's Law Dictionary 2nd Edition.
It's just over 370 megs
For HIS Glory,
Akira

First Edition
I have a digital copy of Black's first edition also if anyone needs... it is very large (320mb) but I can put it to a link for you to download at request.

Is there any specific advantage to the older editions of Blacks?
(Haven't been tainted?)

No difference whatsoever.. the courts are allowed to use whatever source they personally prefer. Older editions are subject to the Erie decision doctrine in that they relate to Law rather than Public Policy.

I agree
No real advatages... However, what is interesting is seeing how some definitions have morphed over time. Just like any other dictionary over time.
