A quick definition of cessio in jure:

Term: CESSIO IN JURE

Definition: Cessio in jure is a legal term from ancient Rome. It refers to a pretend legal action where someone claims ownership of something, the real owner doesn't argue, and a judge gives the thing to the claimant. It's like playing a game where you pretend to own something, and your friend agrees to give it to you without a fight.

A more thorough explanation:

CESSIO IN JURE

Cessio in jure is a Latin term that means "transfer in law." It was a legal procedure in ancient Roman law that allowed a person to transfer ownership of property without a formal sale or transfer. The procedure was fictitious, meaning that it was not a real transfer of property, but rather a legal fiction that allowed the transfer to take place.

An example of cessio in jure would be if a person claimed ownership of a piece of property, and the current owner did not contest the claim. The claimant would then bring a fictitious legal action, called a cessio in jure, to transfer ownership of the property to themselves. The magistrate would then award the property to the claimant.

Another example would be if a person wanted to transfer ownership of property to their child, but did not want to go through the formal process of a sale or transfer. They could use a cessio in jure to transfer ownership of the property to their child without any money changing hands.

Cessio in jure was a legal procedure that allowed for the transfer of property without a formal sale or transfer. It was a fictitious action that allowed the transfer to take place without any money changing hands. The examples illustrate how a person could use a cessio in jure to transfer ownership of property to themselves or to someone else without going through the formal process of a sale or transfer.
