A quick definition of munera publica:

Term: Munera Publica

Definition: Munera publica refers to public duties in Roman law. These were duties that citizens were expected to fulfill, such as serving as a tutor or curator. In Scotland, these offices are voluntary, but once accepted, they cannot be resigned. The person serving in the office is responsible for carrying out their duties until the office expires due to the ward's death, attainment of majority, or marriage. They are also liable for any neglect or actions taken while serving in the office.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Munera publica (myoo-nuh-ruh puh-bli-kuh) is a Latin term used in Roman law to refer to public duties. These duties include performing the offices of tutor and curator, and of index privatus. The singular form of the term is munus publicum.

Example: In ancient Rome, certain offices were considered public duties that every citizen had to fulfill unless they had a valid excuse. These offices included the roles of tutor and curator. In Scotland, these offices are voluntary, but once accepted, they cannot be resigned. The person who accepts the office must perform their duties until the office expires due to the death, attainment of minority or majority, or marriage of the ward.

Explanation: The example illustrates how munera publica refers to public duties that were mandatory in ancient Rome but are now voluntary in Scotland. The example also shows how once a person accepts the office of tutor or curator, they cannot resign and must fulfill their duties until the office expires. This highlights the importance of fulfilling public duties and the consequences of neglecting them.
