A quick definition of jus aequum:

Term: JUS AEQUUM

Definition: Jus aequum is a type of law from ancient Rome that is fair and flexible. It takes into account the specific circumstances of each case. This is different from jus strictum, which is a more rigid and strict type of law.

A more thorough explanation:

JUS AEQUUM

Jus aequum is a Latin term that means "law that is equal or fair." In Roman law, it refers to a type of law that is flexible and adaptable to the specific circumstances of a case. This type of law is characterized by equity and fairness.

An example of jus aequum in action would be a judge who takes into account the unique circumstances of a case when making a ruling. For instance, if a person is accused of stealing food because they were starving and had no other means of obtaining it, a judge who applies jus aequum might take this into consideration and give a more lenient sentence.

Another example would be a law that allows for exceptions in certain cases. For instance, a law that requires all vehicles to stop at a red light might have an exception for emergency vehicles that need to get through quickly.

Jus aequum is all about fairness and flexibility. It recognizes that not all cases are the same and that sometimes the strict application of the law can lead to unfair outcomes. By allowing for exceptions and taking into account the unique circumstances of a case, jus aequum ensures that the law is applied in a way that is just and equitable.

@SplitterusClitterus: really depends on the school. Could mean they have just received it. Could be it is under review. Could mean they already have a decision for you. For Stanford, idk.
