Praetor's Edict
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Praetor's Edict (Edictum praetoris) in ancient Roman law was an annual declaration of principles made by the new praetor urbanus – the elected magistrate charged with administering justice within the city of Rome.[note 1] During the early Empire the Praetor's Edict was revised to become the Edictum perpetuum.
