The Meaning of "Inter Alia"

 


By Brian Madigan LL.B.

The latin expression "inter alia" means "among other things".

The reference is often made when a short quotation or extract is made. The words "inter alia" are added so that the reader will know and appreciate that the quotation was not the full quotation in its entirety. There was more, so the reader is cautioned to look at the original quotation should further information be required.

Usually for the purposes of the reader, the short extract is sufficient. The term "inter alia" is the official caution.

Brian - Thanks for writing about the meaning of "inter alia" for me.  It makes reading articles and cases more understandable.

This is probably one of your shortest posts on record.

Marc,

 

It could be the shortest. I was in front of the computer waiting for a phone call to be returned.

Brian,

I can think of many times in everyday life that I could slip that in to my conversation... especially if I'm dealing with a difficult person!

Jo,

Over the next couple of months I'll give you enough expressions that you could carry on a conversation with Julius Caesar himself.
