Colfax finds it highly amusing that many of the legal phrases in the Black's Law Dictionary sound remakably similar to the jinxes and spells in the Harry Potter Books. For example, "Custos Rotulorum," which actually means: The principal justice of the peace in a county, responsible for the rolls of the county sessions of the peace; "Mobilia sequuntur personam!" which actually means: Movables follow the person; and, finally, "zygocephalum!" which is: the measure of land that can be plowed in one day. I guess being a lawyer is sort of like being a wizard. Are there oil and gas wizards?
