A quick definition of jus strictum:

Term: JUS STRICTUM

Definition: Jus strictum means "strict law" in Latin. It refers to the interpretation of law that strictly follows the letter of the law. This is in contrast to jus aequum, which allows for more flexibility in interpretation. In simpler terms, jus strictum means that the law is interpreted exactly as it is written, without any room for interpretation or leniency.

A more thorough explanation:

Jus Strictum

Jus strictum is a Latin term that means "strict law". It refers to the interpretation of law that is strictly based on the letter of the law.

In Roman law, jus strictum was used to describe the law that was interpreted without any leniency or flexibility. This means that the law was applied exactly as it was written, without any consideration for the circumstances or context of the situation.

An example of jus strictum would be a law that states that anyone caught stealing must be punished with a fine of $1000. If someone is caught stealing, they would be required to pay the full $1000 fine, regardless of their personal circumstances or the value of the item they stole.

Another example would be a law that states that all vehicles must come to a complete stop at a stop sign. If someone rolls through a stop sign without coming to a complete stop, they would be considered to have broken the law, even if there was no other traffic around and it was safe to proceed.

These examples illustrate the concept of jus strictum because the law is being applied exactly as it is written, without any consideration for the specific circumstances of the situation. This can sometimes lead to outcomes that seem unfair or overly harsh, but it is the nature of strict interpretation of the law.
