Dear All,
Many times in our day to day working, we come across some specific Latin phrases repeatedly. Moreover, our course requires us to be well versed with some of them and also encourages a germane use of these words. However, many among us don't really know what these phrases mean nor the usage of the same. Thus, here are some Latin phrases with their meanings.
| Sr. No. | Latin Phrase | Meaning | Illustration/ Principles |
| 1 | per se | by itself or with respect to its inherent nature | Well, that's not correct per se, but the situation is something like that. |
| 2 | in limine | at the outset, at the threshhold,as a preliminary matter | A motion is presented in limine of a case to determine the admissibility of certain evidence. |
| 3 | modus operandi | mode of operations or manner of working | The modus operandi of teachers in specialist Services is different from that of mainstream teachers. |
| 4 | mutatis mutandis | with the necessary changes in points of detail, with such change as may be necessary | A friend of mine has a son whose case, mutatis mutandis, is very much like yours |
| 5 | audi alteram partem | Hear the other side. Both the sides should be heard before giving a decision | It is most often used to refer to the principle that no person should be judged without a fair hearing in which each party is given the opportunity to respond to the evidence against them |
