Leges Juliae Judiciariae
Leges Juliae Judiciariae One of Julius Caesar deprived the tribuni aerarii of their share in the judicia publica (Suet. Jul. 41; Cic. Phil. 1.8); others, more probably of Augustus than Julius, instituted an album selectorum judicum
for the hearing of civil causes (Suet. Octav. 32; Gel. 14.2), and perhaps fixed at twenty years the age under which a person could not be compelled to be a judex (Dig. 4, 8, 41); limited the jurisdiction of the centumviri (Gaius, 4.30; see Keller, Civil Process, § 23); and divided actions in respect of their pendency into judicia legitima and judicia quae imperio continentur (Gaius, 4.104). For the whole subject, see JUDEX
