Definition: | Ancient Latin legal maxim literally meaning "concerning (the) law of (the) land and nature". Sometimes quoted in abbreviated form de jure soli. In COMMON LAW, when no explicit reference is made to the land, soil or nature, ROMAN LAW and therefore the fictions of the HOLY SEE are assumed to apply in which the land becomes "under the SEE (Sea)" and living men and women may be unnaturally treated as FICTIONS. However, when quoted with an understanding as to its meaning, a COURT cannot properly apply the Roman fictions. The common term "ON THE LAND" has a similar but less effective meaning. |
