Lex Vatinia

Lex Vatinia DE REJECTIONE JUDICUM, carried by the same P. Vatinius: it enabled both accuser and accused in a trial for Repetundae to once reject the whole consilium of judges drawn by the praetor: previously they had been able only to challenge individual members of the panel (Cic. in Vatin. 11, 27; Schol. Bob. pp. 321, 323, Orelli).
