An unjust law is no law at all
Latin legal maxim / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An unjust law is no law at all (Latin: lex iniusta non est lex) is an expression in support of natural law, acknowledging that authority is not legitimate unless it is good and right. It has become a standard legal maxim around the world.
This view is strongly associated with natural law theorists, including John Finnis and Lon Fuller.[1]
