Latin Law Dictionary

This is a specialized sub-listing of our comprehensive Law Dictionary, where we've grouped terms relevant to this topic.

If your word is not here, it is probably in the main Law Dictionary - it just didn't make the cut for this topic for a number of reasons - do a SEARCH using the search box above.

Not all Latin terms and maxims are issue from Roman law. The English were fond of creating Latin phrases for many of their legal concepts as they evolved - examples: per quod consortium amisit and quia emptores.

Unless otherwise noted, this article was written by Lloyd Duhaime, Barrister, Solicitor, Attorney and Lawyer (and Notary Public!). It is not intended to be legal advice and you would be foolhardy to rely on it in respect to any specific situation you or an acquaintance may be facing. In addition, the law changes rapidly and sometimes with little notice so from time to time, an article may not be up to date. Therefore, this is merely legal information designed to educate the reader. If you have a real situation, this information will serve as a good springboard to get legal advice from a lawyer.
