A quick definition of ens legis:

Term: ENS LEGIS

Definition: Ens legis is a legal term that refers to an artificial being created by the law, such as a corporation. It is not a natural person, but rather an entity that exists solely because the law allows it to.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ens legis (enz lee-jis) is a term used in Law Latin to describe an artificial being created by the law, as opposed to a natural person.

For example, a corporation is an ens legis because it is a legal entity that exists only because the law allows it to exist. Other examples of ens legis include government agencies, non-profit organizations, and partnerships.

These examples illustrate the definition of ens legis because they are all entities that are created by the law and have legal rights and responsibilities, just like natural persons. However, unlike natural persons, they do not have physical bodies or exist in the same way that humans do.
