Synopsis

ISBN: 620 31078 2

The purpose of this booklet is to provide a compilation of Latin words and phrases with English translations to serve as a quick and

concise reference and guide. The Glossarium contains most of the Latin words and phrases generally used in legal textbooks and law

reports. Lawyers, students and paralegals should therefore find it very useful. It should further be a useful source for law students and practitioners who wish to understand Latin without actually knowing the language.
