Summary/Abstract: Roman jurisprudence developed several literary genres as well as a distinctive language and vocabulary. For centuries, legal Latin was the international language of lawyers, passed down from generation to generation. Today, legal Latin is not as significant, but it is still taken into account in legal education. It is present in both legal practice and contemporary legal literature. The aim of this article is to answer the question of whether legal Latin can be recognized as intangible cultural heritage within the meaning of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
