Common Expressions: IDEM

Expressions Definition
Ad idem Ad idem is a very frequent misspelling of the Latin words ad diem meaning on a particular day or up to the aforementioned day or until a particular day and, if used as an adjective, could even mean up to date. The reason that lawyers miss this phrase, or misemploy it, is not just because they use spellchecking programs incapable of examining the matters more deeply, but because idem is a legitimate adverb in Latin, and the Norman Invasion that turned the legal world on its head introduced numerous instances of compound conjunctions into the legal language of the time. Thus, the Latin idem (meaning the same) could be compounded with the preposition ad to produce a pair of words employed as a single word, and without anything else to go on, the listener would be at a disadvantage trying to figure out what the lawyer had just said. (references)
Ne bis in idem Ne bis in idem means (literally translated from Latin) "not twice for the same" - no legal action can be instituted twice for the same cause of action. It is a legal concept originating in Roman Civil Law - but also found in common law jurisdictions. (references)
