The Gray's Inn badge and Motto
The seal of the Society is the Badge encircled by the motto, of which there is again no record of when or why it was chosen, although it seems to be of about the same age as the griffin. The motto reads: Integra Lex Aequi Custos Rectique Magistra Non Habet Affectus Sed Causas Gubernat (“Impartial justice, guardian of equity, mistress of the law, without fear or favour rules men’s causes aright”).
