Use of Latin Phrases and maxims in Judicial Process

Use of Latin Phrases and maxims in Judicial Process   :----


In  this modern culture  at  present  Latin  vocabulary can be considered a dead language all over 

the world.Except in Vatican (Rome), no where , Latin language is in vogue as a general language 

used by the people. but Unfortunately, in the field of law all over the world use latin phrases like

"Prima Facie", "Sine die". "in terrorem" and latin maxims like "res ipse loquitar" ( the thing speaks 

for itself) and " Audi alterm Paterm"(no man shall be condemned unheard) and many more. These 

Latin phrases and maxims can't be understood by the litigants. But unfortunately the interest of the 

litigants is not all considered while these high sounding phrases and maxims. Even though  in the 

Judiciary the Litin words (these high sounding phrases and maxims) are used by the Bench and 

Bar.regularly.
