Our Name: A Legacy of Juridical Vision

Our name pays homage to Lord William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield (1705–1793), one of the most pivotal figures in the evolution of English common law. As Lord Chief Justice of England for over three decades, Lord Mansfield championed legal reform through a jurisprudence characterised by clarity, commercial sensibility, and moral resolve. His landmark ruling in Somerset v. Stewart (1772), which laid a cornerstone for the abolition of slavery in England, epitomised his belief that justice must serve not only the letter but the spirit of the law.

The phrase Lex Juris, drawn from Latin, carries layered classical meaning. Lex denotes the statute or codified rule of law, while Juris derives from Jus, signifying legal right, justice, or principle. Together, they encapsulate the dialectic between statutory law and jurisprudential reasoning, the dynamic relationship between enacted rules and the philosophical underpinnings of justice.

As Cicero observed in De Legibus, "Legum servi sumus ut liberi esse possimus”; "We are servants of the laws in order to be free." At Mansfield Lex Juris, this conviction forms the cornerstone of our ethos: the law is not an instrument of power, but a framework for liberty and order, shaped by conscience as much as by code.
 

Our Philosophy:
