jus civile

jus civile (j[schwa]s si-vI-lee). [Latin] Roman law. The traditional law of the city of Rome, beginning with the Twelve Tables and developed by juristic interpretation. • It covered areas of law restricted to Roman citizens, such as the formalities of making a will. Over time, the jus civile was modified by, for example, the jus honorarium (which modified the requisites for a valid will) and the jus sentium (which modified the stipulation). The original jus civile was eventually absorbed into a general Roman law. See CIVIL LAW(1); JUS QUIRITIUM.
