Using Latin Today[change source]

In the United Kingdom, lawyers have to learn Latin while learning Law. I think that Latin is still the offical language of the court, but maybe I am wrong. Should we add a part to the article about how Latin is used today? 82.23.114.168 02:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Latin is not used as an official language by anyone except the Roman Catholic Church. However, in law and politics, Latin terms are used very often. A few Latin phrases are commonly used in English. I'll add a section on it. --Tom 10:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In what way? Scientific terms, for example?-- Tdxi an g @ 10:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

E.g.(exemple gratis): am(ante meridiem), pm(post meridiem), a.d.(anno domini), agenda, etc(et cetera).--Noelle1995

Eg. is actually Exempli gratia; And Latin is required for Law studies in many countries because what is called Roman law is the basis (no, that's from greek; foundation would be from latin) of Modern-day (European) Law. --Eptalon (talk) 20:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
