Latin
Lingua Latina
Have you wondered about the meaning of some legal Latin word or phrase?
Now you can find on-line an historical guide to the technical language of the law.
The surviving Latin and French fragments of departed legal systems,
like pieces of pottery that turn up in a building excavation, provide evidence of a continuous
900-year-old legal tradition, some of whose roots
go back twice that far and more. The language can help to uncover legal history, and the historical
study illuminates contemporary law.
