Preferred term

civil law  

Definition

  • “Civil law” is a translation of the Latin term ius civile, a body of law exclusively available to Roman citizens. In modern scholarship, the adjective civilian is used to identify those legal systems historically influenced by Roman law through the process of “reception.” Before the stages in this process can be explored, some remarks on the Roman law that was “received” are required.
