Legal terminology need not be intimidating, difficult and obscure. This
book provides an ideal introduction to the meaning of the core vocabulary which confronts
anyone approaching the study of Law for the first time. A particular feature is its
explanation of how Latin words and phrases should be pronounced, as well as what they
mean.
