In the law, although not so much lately, you need to be able to pronounce Latin words or phrases, e.g., fiat justia ruat caelum (which is the motto of the Tennessee Supreme Court); ejusdem generis, or res ipsa loquitur. I found this paper written by Michael A. Covington, which is entitled Latin Pronunciation Demystified, to be helpful in this endeavor. Here's a link to it: http://www.ai.uga.edu/mc/latinpro.pdf
