Taking as its exemplum the use of images in judicial decisions,
this article argues that the ratio decidendi of legal precedent
should be supplemented with the imago decidendi, the figure or
depiction that motivates judgment. Drawing upon the history of
legal humanism, and particularly the tradition of juristic emblems,
it is argued that an adequate understanding of case law rules and
decisions requires attention to the imagery that conceives and
propels the reasoned deliberation that follows. To adequately
apprehend the transmission of law in a digital age requires
acknowledging that images think differently, that the ambulation of
the eye in the image is very different to the linear glance of the
text.
