CLAS 107
Introduction to Legal Terminology
Students learn most of the hundreds of Latinate word parts most commonly found in the polysyllabic vocabulary of contemporary English Legal Terminology, along with strategies for generating useful translations of the tens of thousands of complex English words made from them and the concepts they entail. Students will also learn about the changes such word parts have undergone since Roman times, and the linguistic principles governing those changes.
