Term: litem suam facere
Definition: Litem suam facere is a Latin term that means "to make a suit one's own." In Roman law, it refers to the failure of a judex to perform his official duty due to imprudence, such as not following the proper procedure or formula. This failure is considered misconduct, and a litigant can take legal action against the judex. Misconduct can include not obeying the formula, not adjourning the trial properly, or even accepting bribes.
