The motto, Cessante ratione legis, cessat ipsa lex, means when the reason for the law ceases to exist, then the law itself ceases to exist. This motto is used a lot in the judicial and congressional branches of government. When trying to make a new law, remove and old law, or see if a law should still apply, this is when this motto gets to shine. If the reason the law was made or is trying to be made doesn't exist or is fixed by something, they will get rid of the law. I came across this motto while I was scrolling through iFunny.
