Lex Cornelia
Lex Cornelia DE EDICTIS, passed by C. Cornelius, tribunus plebis, B.C. 67: it enacted that praetors should not vary the rules proclaimed in their perpetual edicts issued on their entry on office by subsequent Edicta repentina, or apply a different law from that which they had proclaimed claimed they would observe (Ascon. in Corn., Orelli, p. 58; D. C. 36.23: cf. Cic. in Verr. 3.14, 36). [EDICTUM]
