An English speaking lawyer must also be fully aware of the tecnical language, “legal vucabulary” in terms of avoiding misunderstandings whilst drafting a contract or dealing with legal issues.

Lawyers or people in law are less likely to misinterpret each other if they have a consistent understanding of a legal term they are using.

Some words are, in fact, written in the so called “Legalese”, this is more that a technical language. The Legalese is, in some cases, a very old latin which is used in most jurisdictions.

Here some of the most common Latin terms and related meanings:

Ab initio: From the beginning

Bona fide: In good faith

De facto: Something which exist “in fact”, but not strictly legally recognized.
