"Corpus Juris" Meaning (Ontario)

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX West Realty Inc., Brokerage (Toronto)


The latin expression "corpus juris" simply means "body of law". In fact, it's the entire body of laws in a country or a jurisdiction. Commonly, the expression is used in the United States, but used somewhat less frequently in other jurisdictions.

Sometimes, it might be used in the reasons for Judgment by a Judge who wants to set rather wide parameters, by stating perhaps something to the effect that having reviewed the "corpus juris", meaning of course that all of the laws were considered.
