A quick definition of legibus solutus:

Term: LEGIBUS SOLUTUS

Definition: Legibus solutus means "released from the laws" in Latin. In Roman law, it refers to the emperor or other designated person who is not bound by the law. This means they have the power to make decisions without following the rules that apply to everyone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Legibus solutus (lee-jə-buhs sə-loo-tuhs) is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to a person, usually the emperor or someone with a high position, who is not bound by the law.

One example of legibus solutus is the Roman emperor. The emperor was considered above the law and could do whatever he wanted without facing any consequences.

Another example is a judge who has immunity. In some countries, judges have immunity from prosecution for actions taken in their official capacity. This means they are legibus solutus and cannot be held accountable for their actions.

These examples illustrate the concept of legibus solutus by showing how certain individuals are exempt from the law and can act without fear of punishment.

"But I also want to end on this note. Don't be afraid of being wrong. And what I mean by that is, being wrong about a school. I applied to Princeton coming out of high school and didn't get in. I ended up going to Vanderbilt. I could never see myself having gone anywhere but Vanderbilt." -Spivey
