A quick definition of jus ex non scripto:

Term: jus ex non scripto

Definition: Jus ex non scripto means unwritten law. It refers to laws that are not written down but are still considered valid and enforceable. These laws are based on customs, traditions, and practices that have been passed down through generations. They are often used in situations where there is no written law that applies. For example, if a community has a tradition of resolving disputes through mediation, this could be considered jus ex non scripto.

A more thorough explanation:

jus ex non scripto

jus ex non scripto is a Latin term that means "unwritten law." It refers to legal principles that are not written down in statutes or codes, but are instead based on custom, tradition, or judicial decisions.

One example of jus ex non scripto is the common law system used in many English-speaking countries. Under this system, judges rely on previous court decisions to interpret and apply the law, rather than relying solely on written statutes.

Another example is the concept of "fair use" in copyright law. While the specific details of fair use are not spelled out in the law, courts have developed a set of principles over time that allow for certain uses of copyrighted material without permission.

These examples illustrate how jus ex non scripto can play an important role in shaping the law, even when there is no specific written rule or regulation to follow.
