NAME OF THE FACULTY:

INTRODUCTION:
A legal maxim or legal phrase elucidates or expounds a legal principle, proposition or
concept. Legal maxim, a broad proposition (usually stated in a fixed Latin form), a number of
which have been used by lawyers since the 17th century or earlier. Some of them can be
traced to early Roman law. Much more general in scope than ordinary rules of law, legal
maxims commonly formulate a legal policy or ideal that judges are supposed to consider in
deciding cases. Maxims do not normally have the dogmatic authority of statutes and are
usually not considered to be law except to the extent of their application in adjudicated cases.

research is concerned with three Latin legal maxims. These maxims are- “Contra Bonos
Mores”, “Pro Hac Vice” & “Reddendo singula singulis”.
