Updated and expanded, this invaluable reference book was originally
written as an aid for those disadvantaged by the deteriorating
standing of Latin in our education system and by its use as legal
terminology. Professional and comprehensive, yet lighthearted, it
is immensely readable and has assumed a readership far beyond the
lawyers for whom it was primarily designed to assist. All those
interested in or curious about Latin may like to dip in to discover
such particularly succinct phrases as uberrimae fidei (of the
utmost [good] faith), in tenebris (in the dark), doli capax
(capable, legally, of wrong or fraud) or mala fide (in bad faith).
Few learn Latin in school and young lawyers with minimal knowledge
of the language will experience considerable difficulty as they
continue to meet it, particularly in old reported cases, academic
articles, statutes and in decisions of EC institutions and even
falling from the lips of renegade judges. When Latin brings
progress and comprehension to a halt, what then? Reach for
"Lawyers' Latin".
