The right of making a declaration of war. JUS CIVILE (Lat). In Roman Law. The private law, in contradistinction to the public law, or jus gentium. 1 Savigny, Dr. Rom. c. 1, § 1. The local law of the city of Rome. It is said that the twelve tables marked the starting-point in the development of the Roman law so far as it can be historically authenticated, and that its development advanced steadily in uninterrupted progression until it culminated in the corpus juris oivilis of Justinian; Sohm, Inst. Rom. L. § 10. It Is, however, rather more accurate to say that the culmination of the Roman law, as a system, was not reached until the period of the development side by side of the jut system, see Morey, Bom. L. 14, 24. See Jvs Oenthtm.
