• Resumen

  • The article considers the language of law. Particular attention is paid to the position of Latin as a lingua iuris from Antiquity through the Middle Ages and Modern Times, as a main instrument outlining the legal principles and their conceptual systematization. The legal Latin terminology used today is examined in the light of the general development of law in Europe as a common and unified sustainable legal vocabulary in modern languages, that unites the different national legal systems and supports the concept that Roman law is ius commune, on which the European legal culture stands.
