hmmm, the enim is not necessary in the title, it simply means 'because'. Inter arma leges silent i think is the most used phrasing. 198.184.231.254 (talk) 16:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Silent enim leges inter arma seems to read colloquially as "rules matter less once weapons come into play" - 99.40.197.2 (talk) 07:00, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
If you read the surrounding account in the defence oration by Cicero, it appears to say that all bet s are off completely once swords are drawn. --121.209.160.64 (talk) 17:05, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

This entire article is broken, because it has the wrong meaning. It doesn't (in origin) refer to the suspension of civil liberties during wartime; it refers to the lack of legal redress between warring parties; that, after all, is what war is William M.

The spelling of the word "lēgēs" is suspicious. I am not an expert on Latin but I do not recall Latin use bars over the letter "e". In addition, the Latin version of this article does not use "lēgēs" but "leges".
