This is a
metanode
for Latin expressions in law. These are generally the same for countries that practise roman
oriented
law, but are somewhat outdated. Key
phrases
are marked with an
asterisk
. Why do we use Latin phrases and expressions? One element is that because Latin isn't a
living
language, the phrases won't change meaning over time (Like in
medicine
). Second, these phrases have a
particular
meaning, and the meaning is specifically coined to each phrase. For more info, see the
Roman Law
node.
