My first legal Latin*...
expressio unius (a.k.a. expressio unius est exclusio alterius) - to express one thing, at least in a statute, is to exclude other things that have not been mentioned
ejusdem generis - of the same genus or class, applies to catch-all words after an enumerated list
*In the future vocab words and all things legal may be mentioned here but will link to my law blog to keep this blog from becoming a boring recounting of my life as a law student.
