[[Category:Legal system (Nova Roma)]] {{LanguageBar|Legal system (Nova Roma)}} {{Praetores}} <onlyinclude> The Nova Roman legal system includes the legal texts applicable to and inside [[Nova Roma]]. It is composed not only of the [[List of leges|laws]] adopted by the [[comitia (Nova Roma)|comitia]], the assemblies of Nova Roma, but also of [[:Category:Senatus consulta (Nova Roma)|senatus consulta]], [[:Category:Acta Pontificum (Nova Roma)|pontifical decrees]] and [[:Category:Edicta (Nova Roma)|magisterial edicts]]. ==Leges== After the [[Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda (Nova Roma)|Constitution of Nova Roma]], a ''[[Lex|lex]]'' (law) is the highest legislative legal policy. A ''lex'' is passed when successfully voted through by on of the ''[[Comitia (Nova Roma)|comitia]]''. All ''leges'' (laws) of Nova Roma are officially listed through three sources, based on their status: *'''[[List_of_leges|List of laws in-force]]''' - Lists all active (in-force) laws in chronological order. *'''[[List of all passed laws|List of all laws]]''' - Lists all laws ever enacted, in chronological order. A historical list. *'''[[Leges Novae Romanae In Force|Consolidated library of laws]]''' - Lists all active (in-force) laws on a single page to enable keyword or phrase searches (Ctrl-F). ====Leges Archive==== Some complementary information on older Nova Roma laws or proposed laws (''rogationes'') that were never ratified: *'''[http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/ Old Website Tabularium (deprecated)]''' *'''[[:Category:Repealed leges (Nova Roma)| Repealed Leges]]''' *'''[[:Category:Lapsed leges (Nova Roma)| Lapsed Leges]]''' *'''[[:Category:Failed rogationes (Nova Roma)| Failed Rogationes]]''' *'''[[:Category:Withdrawn rogationes (Nova Roma)| Withdrawn Rogationes]]''' *'''[[:Category:Vetoed rogationes (Nova Roma)| Vetoed Rogationes]]''' ==Senatus consulta== A [[Senatus consultum|''senatus consulta'']], abbreviated to ''SC'', was an official statement and advice of the Roman senate to the executive magistrates. In Nova Roma, the SC has legal and authoritative precedence as a a decree of the Senate. A chronological summary of all SC can be found here: *'''[[:Category:Senatus consulta (Nova Roma)|Senatus Consulta of Nova Roma]]''' *'''[[Sessions of the Senate (Nova Roma)|Sessions of the Senate]]''' ====Senatus Consulta Ultima==== In accordance with article V. D. of the [[Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda (Nova Roma)#V._The_Senate| Nova Roma constitution]], in times of emergency, through a two-thirds majority vote, the Senate has the power to issue a ''senatus consultum ultimum'' (the ultimate decree of the Senate), abbreviated as ''SCU''. An SCU can, with the exception of this Constitution, supersede all other laws, the judiciary, the magistrates and the Comitia, by making decisions in their place, and can authorize the consuls and other officers to use their imperium in the central administration with absolute powers, under the constraints of the Constitution and within the prescribed scope as defined by the Senatus consultum ultimum, to deal with a specific situation. The Senatus consultum ultimum is a type of Senatus consultum, and as such, it is subject to tribunician intercessio and to all rules regarding SC, but magistrates acting under an enacted SCUm are not subject to tribunician intercessio or provocatio. The SCU may not be used in place of a lex to enact a change in the Constitution or in the Articles of Incorporation, or in place of a decretum pontificum to appoint priests. A SCU only remains in-force for three months after its enactment. After which, it ceases to have any special authority other than a regular SC. {{FourUp|'''[[Senatus Consulta Ultima (Nova Roma)|Senatus Consulta Ultima of Nova Roma]]'''}} ====Senatus Consulta Archive==== Archived records (no longer used but retained for historical purposes) of some past SC and relevant pages may be found here: *'''[[list of discussed SC (Nova Roma)|List of Discussed SC]]''' *'''[[:Category:Repealed senatus consulta (Nova Roma)| Repealed Senatus Consulta]]''' *'''[[:Category:Failed relationes (Nova Roma)| Failed Senate Proposals]]''' *'''[[:Category:Senatus auctoritates (Nova Roma)| Vetoed Senatus Consulta]]''' ==Decreta pontificum vel augurum== The ''[[collegium pontificum (Nova Roma)|collegium pontificum]]'' has the right to issue ''decreta'' on matters relevant to the Roman religion and its own internal procedures, the ''[[collegium augurum (Nova Roma)|collegium augurum]]'' has the same power to issue ''decreta'' on matters of the ''ars auguria'' and its own internal procedures. These priestly decrees may not be overruled by laws passed in the comitia, by senatus consulta, or by edicts of magistrates. *[[:Category:Decreta (Nova Roma)| Decreta of Nova Roma]] ==Edicta== An ''[[Edictum|edictum]]'' is a binding authoritative order given by a magistrate empowered to do so. The level or authority of an edict is determined by the rank of the issuing magistrate. All edicts rank below ''leges'' and ''senatus consulta'' in legislative precedence. They are often used to formally assign tasks and projects, make rulings or interpret the law. ''Edicta'' in Nova Roma are only valid for the duration of office of the issuing magistrate, in accordance with the ''[[Lex Arminia de ratione edictorum (Nova Roma)|Lex Arminia de ratione edictorum]]''. Only a dictator's ''edicta'' IAW article IV. B. 1. of the [[Lex_Cornelia_Domitia_de_re_publica_constituenda_(Nova_Roma)#IV._Magistrates|constitution]] remains valid after their term in office. Nova Roma has consolidated ''edicta'' on the following page: *'''[[:Category:Edicta (Nova Roma)| Edicta of Nova Roma]]''' ==Forms, instructions and treaties== ====Official Forms==== Nova Roma will produce various official forms, applications and documents.
