Term: JUS MORIBUS CONSTITUTUM

Definition: Jus moribus constitutum is a type of law that is not written down as a statute or ordinance, but is based on customs and traditions. This type of law is also known as unwritten law, and includes case law. Judges use reasoning to determine the rules of law from previous cases, and these rules become part of the unwritten law. Essentially, it is a way of making decisions based on what has been done in the past, rather than creating new laws.
