JUS (Lat). Law; right; equity. Story, Eq. Jur. § 1. In the Roman law the word had two distinct meanings. It was either a body of law, as the honorarium, or an individual right, as the jus auffragii. See Sohm, Inst. Rom. L. § 7, where this distinction is developed in the course of a discussion of fundamental conceptions. See Evans’ pamphlet on Roman I^aw According to Livy. A third use of the word was in apposition to judicium, as to which see In Judicio. Jus is said to have the following meanings: a law court; a bond or tie; power, authority; right to do a thing; law, or a system of law; what is right and fair. The plural means either rights, or rules of law, ordinances, decisions, and so authority, ^settleship, Lexicog. As to the distinction between jus and lex, see Lex. See In Jure; Judex; Jus ad Rem. JUS ABUTENDI (Lat). The right to abuse. By this phrase is understood the right to abuse propei’ty, or having full dominion over property. 3 Toullier, n. 86. The right of destruction or consumption, and free disposition. Morey, Rom. L. 283. See Dominium Jus TJtendi. JUS ACCRESCENDI (Lat). The right of survivorship. See Survivor. In Roman Law. 'The right of accretion. This exists in two cases: According to the general rule a person could not die partly testate and partly intestate, and if any part of the estate was unprovided for, either by the oversight of the testator or any of the heirs, it was ratably distributed among the heirs; Morey, Rom. L. 325;.so if the same thing were left to two or more persons each took an equal share; if one of them should die before he had received the legacy, the share of the one so dying passed to the remaining joint legatee or legatees by this right; id. 334. It has been suggested that the germ of this right is to be found in the succession by necessity; Sohm, Inst. Rom. L. § 100. See Estate in Joint Tenancy.
