Latin for Lawyers

...........................................................................................................................
Description
THE First Part of this book consists of a course in Latin, written by E. Hilton Jackson of the American Bar, in which legal maxims and phrases are used as a basis of instruction. It has attained a wide circulation in the Law Schools of America, and has already run to a third edition. It is not designed to give a complete course in the Latin Language, and is intended chiefly to benefit law students and some of the younger members of the profession, who have not a working knowledge of Latin, by making them familiar with the fundamental principles of the language, while at the same time employing as material instruction those maxims and phrases met with daily in practice and in the leading text-books.
The maxims and phrases thus utilised comprise three hundred and eighty-five in all, in selecting which, their importance in a legal aspect has been constantly borne in mind.
These maxims have been conveniently divided into thirty- two lessons, conducting the student by a gradual and easy process from the more elementary principles of Etymology to some of the more involved constructions of Syntax.
