De Vacillatione Judiciorum. 

 APHORISMUS 94. 



Vacillant Judicia, vel propter immaturam et praefestinam 

 sententiam; vel propter asmulationem curiarum; vel propter 

 malam et imperitam perscriptionem Judiciorum; vel propter 

 viam praebitam ad rescissionem eorum nimis facilem et expedi- 

 tam. Itaque providendum est ut judicia emanent, matura de- 

 liberatione prius habita ; atque ut curiae se invicem revereantur, 

 atque ut judicia perscribantur fideliter et prudenter ; utque via 

 ad rescindenda judicia sit arcta, confragosa, et tanquam muri- 

 cibus strata. 



APHORISMUS 95. 



Si judicium redditum fuerit de casu aliquo in aliqua curia 

 principal!, et similis casus intervenerit in alia curia, ne pro- 

 cedito ad judicium antequam fiat consultatio in collegio aliquo 

 judicum majore. Judicia enim reddita, si forte rescindi necesse 

 sit, saltern sepeliuntor cum honore. 



APHORISMUS 96. 



Ut curias de jurisdictione digladientur et conflictentur, hu- 

 manum quiddam est ; eoque magis, quod per ineptam quandam 

 sententiam (quod boni et strenui sit judicis, ampliare jurisdicti- 

 onem Curia) alatur plane ista intemperies, et calcar addatur 

 ubi fraeno opus est. Ut vero ex hac animorum contentione 

 curias judicia utrobique reddita (quae nil ad jurisdictionem per- 

 tinent) libenter rescindant, intolerabile malum ; et a regibus, 

 aut senatu, aut politia plane vindicandum. Pessimi enim ex- 

 empli res est, ut curias, quas pacem subditis praestant, inter se 

 duella exerceant. 



1 Our knowledge of the history of the two sects or schools of jurists which existed 

 during what is called the middle period of Roman jurisprudence is still imperfect, 

 though less so than before the discovery of the Institutes of Gaius. It appears pro- 

 bable that the importance of the differences of opinion between them has been ex- 

 aggerated, and that the sects themselves had died out before the time of Justinian, 

 The two schools respectively regarded Ateius Capito and Anstitius Labeo as their head 

 or founder ; but the followers of the former were called Sabinians or Cassians ; the 

 other school being that of the Proculeiaas ; all these names being derived from those of 

 certain eminent followers of the two jurists just mentioned. Gaius, the author of the 

 Institutes, belonged to the former school, which is said to have been distinguished 

 from the other by a closer adherence to the letter of the law. Probably the best writer 

 on the subject is Dirksen, whose work was published in 1825. The distinction 

 between the character of the doctrines of the two schools is not very strongly marked.
