Lawyers' Latin by John Gray

Lawyers' Latin by John Gray

Few learn Latin in school and young lawyers with minimal knowledge of the language experience difficulty as they continue to meet it, particularly in old reported cases, academic articles and statutes. This book is aimed at those disadvantaged by the deteriorating standing of Latin in our education system and by its use as legal terminology.

"'A highly entertaining guide to Latin words and expressions that have passed the lips and pens of lawyers for centuries' Commonwealth Lawyer 'Aimed specifically at legal practitioners, this is a vade-mecum with far wider application. It actually explains many legal concepts in terms which the rest of us can readily understand. It can be consulted, or even read, with profit by many and with enjoyment by many more.' Reference Reviews"
