The Second Death

 

Judges ought to remember that their office is jus decree and not jus dare; to interpret law and not to make or give law

 

They ought to remember that their office is jus decree and not jus dare;

 

Not to make law, but to interpret law—not to give law, but to declare what the law is;

 

That they are not legislators, but exors of the laws created by the people;

 

That their office is to declare the law, and not to make law.
