What's in a motto?
I chose “Veritas per Diem” as a pun on my name (and suggesting I don’t do a night shift!)
Helen Day
My motto is: “Rettferdighet” (pronounced: rett-ferdy-hett).
As my father was Norwegian, I wanted a Norwegian connection and rettferdighet, a word meaning “justice”, was the first legal word I came across in my pocket Norwegian dictionary!
Frank Jensen
Mine is “Equity”. Before coming into the law I worked for 10 years as a professional actor and, of necessity, was a member of British Actors’ Equity. The choice of notarial motto was simply an homage to my previous occupation.
Martin Collins
My notarial motto is “Timor Mortis Conturbat Me”, which means “The Fear Of Death Obsesses Me”! It comes from a poem by the 16th century Scottish makar, Dunbar, and I chose it because of (a) the Scottish connection and (b) it is a little different.
