The sentence 'Justicia est fides in lex' contains an error. For Latin is a language that has case endings, to show the relationship of the parts of speech to the verb. In this case, the sentence contains the preposition 'in', after which the noun needs to be in the ablative case instead of the nominative, or subject. Therefore, the correct phrasing is the following: 'Justicia est fides in lege'. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'justicia' means 'justice'; 'est' means [it] is'; 'fides' means 'faith'; 'in' means 'in'; and 'lege' means 'law. Therefore, the meaning in English is the following: Justice is faith in the law.
