[blindLaw] obtaining an accessible Black's law dictionary

[Sai]

No, it's just better for visual layout. Easier to visually read text when
the column size isn't too large, because it requires less eye movement, and
because some entries won't be long enough for the full width, which looks
bad.

Purely a visual thing. Standard for dictionaries.
