A quick definition of lex terrae:

Term: LEX TERRAE

Definition: Lex terrae means "law of the land." It refers to the laws that are in effect in a country and apply to all its members. This includes laws made by the government, as well as laws that have been created by judges in court cases. It also includes the idea of due process, which means that everyone is entitled to a fair and impartial legal process. In simpler terms, lex terrae is the set of rules that everyone in a country must follow.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lex terrae (leks ter-ee) is a Latin term that means "law of the land." It refers to the law that is in effect in a country and applicable to its members, whether the law is statutory, administrative, or case-made. It is also known as due process of law.

Examples: An example of lex terrae is the United States Constitution, which outlines the fundamental laws of the land and guarantees certain rights to its citizens. Another example is the Criminal Code of Canada, which sets out the criminal laws that apply to all Canadians.

Explanation: The examples illustrate the definition of lex terrae because they both represent the fundamental laws of their respective countries. These laws apply to all citizens and are enforced by the government. The concept of due process of law ensures that everyone is entitled to a fair trial and that the law is applied equally to all individuals, regardless of their status or position in society.
