I've posted this before (several months, maybe a year ago) but will again
since I think it's still true.
For legal dictionaries, I recommend reading the 1994 article at 86 LLJ
230-235 by Jose Torres. He compares all the then available bi-lingual
Sp/Eng legal dictionaries. He says the best of the bunch is the
Cabanellas-de-las-Cuevas/Hoague two volume dictionary published by Lexis
Publishing (under the Michie imprint now).
I should acknowledge my own bias since I was the person at then-Butterworth
Legal Publishers who "brought the book into the house". It was published in
1991. It has 150,000 entries versus a fraction of that for most other
bi-lingual versions.
You can find the title on the Lexis bookstore website at
http://bookstore.lexis.com/bookstore/catalog and do a search on Hoague, the
co-author.
I haven't worked in legal publishing now since 1997 so don't mistakenly
believe there's anything in this for me, because there isn't. But the book
is what it is, and according to Torres, it's the best.
