LOCUS SIGILLI. The place of the seal. 2. In many of the states, instead of
sealing deeds, writs, and other papers or documents requiring it, a scroll
is made in which the letters L. S. are printed or written, which is an
abbreviation of Locus Sigilli. This in some of the states has all the
efficacy of a seal, but in others it has no such effect. See Scroll.
