Law Latin

Read a random definition: administrative agency

A quick definition of Law Latin:

Law Latin is a special way of writing and speaking Latin that was used in legal documents and practices. It was a mix of Latin, French, and English. People started using Law Latin because they didn't like Law French, which was used after the Norman Conquest.

A more thorough explanation:

Law Latin is a type of Latin that was used in legal documents and practices. It was a mix of Latin, French, and English. It became popular as a response to Law French, which was imposed on England after the Norman Conquest in 1066.

For example, the phrase "pro se" is a Law Latin term that means "for oneself." It is often used in legal documents when someone is representing themselves in court.

Another example is the term "habeas corpus," which means "you shall have the body." This term is used in legal proceedings to refer to a person's right to challenge their detention or imprisonment.

These examples illustrate how Law Latin was used in legal documents and practices to convey specific meanings and concepts.
