"A Collection of Latin Maxims & Rules, in Law and Equity" by Peter Halkerston is a compilation designed to give legal professionals and students access to the core principles of law through Latin maxims. This book gathers a large number of legal maxims from important writers in civil, canon, feudal, English, and Scots law, presenting each with an English translation to promote better understanding. It highlights the critical place these principles play in law and stresses the need for lawyers to learn them by heart to make decisions based on fundamental truths. The book claims that legal guidelines emerge from long-standing legal knowledge, not the other around, and gives a clear demonstration of legal tradition.
