A quick definition of praetorian edict:

A praetorian edict was a proclamation issued by a praetor, a magistrate in ancient Rome, at the start of their term. It explained the grounds on which a formula, or legal action, would be granted. This edict had the force of law and was important in shaping the principles by which the praetor would act in office. Other types of edicts included those issued by the emperor, provincial governors, and curule aediles. These edicts were declarations of laws or rules relevant to their jurisdiction or area of competence.

A more thorough explanation:

The Praetorian Edict was a proclamation issued by a praetor at the start of their term, explaining the grounds on which a formula would be granted.

In ancient Rome, a formula was a written document that set out the terms of a legal case. The Praetorian Edict helped guide judges in deciding cases by providing them with a set of principles to follow.

For example, an edict might declare that sellers would be strictly liable for latent defects in goods, or dictate how dogs and wild animals for sale should be confined to protect the public.

The Praetorian Edict was an important part of Roman law, as it helped ensure that legal decisions were consistent and fair.
