A quick definition of libera lex:

Term: LIBERA LEX

Definition: Libera lex means "free law" in Latin. It refers to the law that free and lawful men enjoyed in the past. This law protected them and gave them benefits. However, if someone committed a crime, they would lose the protection of this law and fall from the status of libera lex. This was a severe punishment that included losing goods, lands, and even going to prison. It was called a "villenous judgment."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Libera lex (lib-uh-ruh leks) is a Latin term that means "free law." It refers to the law of the land that is enjoyed by free and lawful men.

For example, if a person has not committed any crimes, they are considered to have libera lex. This means that they are protected by the law and can enjoy all the benefits of being a free citizen.

However, if a person commits a crime or becomes infamous, they can lose their libera lex. This is known as amittere liberam legem, which means "to lose one's free law."

For example, if a person is found guilty of a crime, they may lose their libera lex and be subject to punishment. This could include forfeiting their goods and chattels, having their houses razed, and going to prison.

Overall, libera lex refers to the idea that the law should be fair and just for all citizens, regardless of their status or background.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
