jus honorarium

jus honorarium (j[schwa]s [h]on-[schwa]-rair-ee-[schwa]m). [Latin “magisterial law”] Roman law. The body of law established by the edicts of magistrates, esp. the praetors (jus praetorium) and the aediles (jus aedilium). • In the Roman Republic, the term sometimes referred collectively to all the proclamations of magistrates of the Roman Republic, such as the consuls, praetors, aediles, quaestors, censors, provincial governors, and pontifices. Although these magistrates were not legislators, they were entitled and indeed bound to declare by edict how they proposed to administer justice, and their edicts were a supplementary source of law. — Also termed edicta magistratuum.
