Our purpose
In common with many of the City Livery Companies, the Company’s objectives as a Worshipful Livery Company include commitments to professional fellowship, charity, education and social engagement. Our motto is ‘Lex Libertatis Origo’, or ‘Law is the Source of Liberty’. Underlying our objectives and commitments the Company has adopted a unifying purpose, common to all our Members, of promoting the understanding of, and respect for, the Rule of Law. We value the Rule of Law and the role it plays in contributing to a free, prosperous and fair society.
As a Company, we are proud of our work on access to justice through our charitable giving, in encouraging and recognising professional contributions to the Rule of Law, and in encouraging the discussion of the importance of the Rule of Law and the part our members play in upholding it.
