  Article 181-Maxim  
  Canon 2589  
  A Maxim is a term used to describe a self-evident axiom or premise constituting an expression of a general principle or rule in accordance with these canons.  
  Canon 2590  
  By definition, all valid canons that precede or follow this canon are maxims.  
  Canon 2591  
  A maxim is not a maxim but an inferior statement or claim if it is not in accordance with these canons.  
  Canon 2592  
  The claim a statement is a maxim through custom or acceptance has no validity unless it is in accordance with these canons. Therefore all claimed maxims of law are hereby null and void unless they conform to these canons.  
  Canon 2593  
  No statement that is claimed as a maxim of law may be used in a competent forum unless it is a valid canon.  
  Canon 2594  
  When anyone references, writes or speaks of a “Maxim”, or “Maxim of Law”, or “Maxims” it shall mean these canons and no other.
