Personality of laws

Whenever they wish to express that the operation of a law is universal, they compendiously announce that it is a personal statute; and whenever, on the other hand, they wish to express that its operation is confined to the country of its origin, they simply declare it to be a real statute, Story's Confl. Of Laws, 8th Edn. p. 20....

Habitatio
Habitatio. The nature of this personal servitude is not obvious. Some jurists confound it with the right to use a house; but Justinian declares it to be quite distinct both from the jus utendi and the jus fruendi. For whilst the jus utendi is one and entire, the habitatio is a series of rights arising from day to day, so that in bequeathing it you make a separate bequest, in fact, for each day; hence, also, it was not extinguished by non-user. justinian added the further distinction, that it might be let, Cum. C.L. 95, and Sand Just....
Jus
Jus, law, right, equity, authority, and rule.A Roman 'magistratus' generally did not investigate the facts in dispute in such matters as were brought before him; he appointed a judex for that purpose, and gave him instructions. Accordingly, the whole procedure was expressed by the two phrases Jus and Judicium; of which the former comprehended all that took place before the magistratus (in jure), and the latter all that took place before the judex (in judicio). Originally, even the magistratus was called judex, as, for instance, the consul and pr'tor (Liv. iii. 55); and under the empire the term 'judex' often designated the pr'ses, Smith's Dict. of Antiq.All law jus) is distributed into two parts--Jus Gentium and Jus Civile--and the whole body of law peculiar to any state is its Jus Civile (Cic. De Orat. I. 44). The Roman Law, therefore, which is peculiar to the Roman state, is its Jus Civile, sometimes called Jus Civile Romanorum, but more frequently designated by the term Jus Civile o...

Possessio
Possessio, in its primary sense, is the condition or power by virtue of which a man has such a mastery over a corporeal thing as to deal with it at his pleasure, and to exclude other persons from meddling with it. This condition or power is detention; and it lies at the bottom of all legal senses of the word 'possession.' This possession is no legal state or condition, but it may be the source of rights, and it then becomes possessio in a juristical or legal sense. Still, even in this sense it is not in any way to be confounded with property (proprietas). A man may have the juristical possession of a thing without being the proprietor, and a man may be the proprietor of a thing without having the juristical possession of it, and consequently without having the detention of it (Dig. 41, tit. 2, s. 12). Ownership is the legal capacity to operate on a thing according to a man's pleasure, and to exclude everybody else from doing so. Possession, in the sense of detention, is the actual exer...
Institutions
Institutions. It was the object of Justinian to comprise in his Code and Digest, or Pandects, a complete body of law. But these works were not adapted to the purposes of elementary instruction, and the writings of the ancient jurists were no longer allowed to have any authority, except so far as they had been incorporated in the digest, Smith's Dict. of Antiq. It was therefore necessary to prepare an elementary treatise, and the Institutes were published a month before the Pandects, A.D. 533, and designed as an elementary introduction to legal study (legum cunabula). The work was divided into four books, subdivided into titles.The Institutes are the elements of the Roman Law, and were composed at the command of the Emperor Justinian, by Trebonian, Dorotheus, and The ophilus, who took them from the writings of the ancient lawyers, and chiefly from those of Gaius especially from his Institutes and his books called Aureorum (i.e., of important matters).The Institutes are divided into four...
