Define That Term #68
March 21, 2006
I apologize for the lack of posting today, but real life got in the way of blogging due to a sudden and pressing overnight project that I have to complete for a client.
As for legal definitions, yesterday's term was ad hoc, which is defined as:
adj. Latin shorthand meaning "for this purpose only." Thus, an ad hoc committee is formed for a specific purpose, usually appointed to solve a particular problem. An ad hoc attorney is one hired to handle one problem only and often is a specialist in a particular area or considered especially able to argue a key point.
Slickdpdx's guess was pretty close.
Today's terms is:
in haec verba.
Good luck and no dictionaries.
