  • Provides international lawyers with a comprehensive understanding of commonly found Latin terms used in diplomacy and international law practice
  • Includes both literal translations and definitions with several useful innovations
  • Contains over 1,500 entries with etymology and extensive cross-references to other terms for ease of use
  • Includes examples of usage in context to supplement the definitions of Latin terms and phrases
  • Provides the modern pronunciation, classic pronunciation, and context of meaning for each Latin term

New to this Edition:

  • Adds Latin terms and phrases not included in the first edition that have been used in treaties, judicial decisions, scholarly publications, and other international law sources
  • Contains additional examples of usage for some previously included terms and phrases to enrich the guidebook and give the reader a fuller picture of the influence of Roman civil law and its concepts on modern international law
  • Includes further etymological information for certain previously included terms and phrases
  • Contains additional cross-references where appropriate

    
As knowledge of Latin continues to diminish, its frequent use in cases, textbooks, treaties, and scholarly works baffles law students, practitioners, and scholars alike. Many of the Latin terms commonly used by international lawyers are not included in some of the more popular law dictionaries. Terms and phrases included in modern dictionaries usually offer nothing more than a literal translation without sufficient explanation or context provided.
   
The Guide to Latin in International Law provides a comprehensive approach and includes both literal translations and definitions with several useful innovations. Included is not only the modern English pronunciation but also the classical or "restored" pronunciation. Its etymology is more complete than the leading law dictionary on the market, and the definition for each term includes examples used in context whenever helpful. Each entry is also cross-referenced to related terms for ease of use. This updated edition is the quintessential desktop reference for understanding Latin terms and phrases across all areas of international law.
