Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Product description

Review

"'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"

    A delightful little book, full of interesting anecdotes and useful information about phrases familiar and less familiar to the layman. Nicely presented, with an index.

    Very interesting..I've got this natural distrust of lawyers..with all their double talk....always thought they were bamboozling me.
    I did latin at school....sadly it is now just an option at some high schools...I think that young teens are nowadays being short changed..education wise. At least I know now that "MENS REA" has nothing to do with anatomy.
    Forgive me but there's so little we can laught at these days

    Has all the Latin terms I have ever come across in legal journals, cases or textbooks. Saves me having to look them up on the internet. Great if I am in a situation where there is no internet. Quite small, fits in any bag. Good quality hardcover book. Very pleased that it was cheap.

    Would recommend to any law students who have never studied Latin.
