A quick definition of sub colore juris:

Term: SUB COLORE JURIS

Definition: Sub colore juris means that someone is doing something that looks like it is allowed by the law, but it might not be. It is like pretending to have the right to do something when you really don't.

A more thorough explanation:

Sub colore juris is a Latin term that means "under color of right" or "under an appearance of right."

This term is often used to describe situations where someone is acting in a way that appears to be legal or justified, but is actually not. In other words, they are using the appearance of having a right to do something to justify their actions, even if they don't actually have that right.

  • A landlord who enters a tenant's apartment without notice or permission, claiming that they have a right to do so because of a clause in the lease agreement, is acting sub colore juris.
  • A police officer who uses excessive force during an arrest, claiming that they were acting in self-defense, may be acting sub colore juris if their actions were not actually justified.

These examples illustrate how someone can use the appearance of having a right to do something to justify their actions, even if they are actually in the wrong. In both cases, the person is claiming to have a legal right to do something, but their actions are not actually legal or justified.
