Ipso jure Ipso jure is a Latin phrase, directly translated as by oper- ation of law. It is used as an adverb. [1] 1 Usage The phrase is used to describe legal consequences that occur by the act of the law itself. For example, if prop- erty is held in a tenancy by the entirety by a husband and wife, who then get divorced, the property is converted ipso jure (i.e. by the law itself) into another form of ten- ancy, usually a tenancy in common, at the very instant the marriage is dissolved.
