 | Essential Latin for Lawyers by Russ Versteeg
Buy used from: $7.40 "This book is a great buy; it has been really helpful thus far. Black's dictionary lacks a lot of very important Latin terms that I need to understand to get the full benefit of the casebooks. "Essential Latin" has a basic dictionary-style format at the back of the book, and short summaries of the most important terms divided by subject, (crim law, torts), in the front."
