Quaestio perpetua is a Latin term that means "perpetual inquiry." In Roman law, it refers to a permanent commission that hears criminal cases. This commission is made up of a standing jury court created by statute to try and pass sentence on particular crimes.

A more thorough explanation:

Quaestio perpetua is a Latin term that means "perpetual inquiry." In Roman law, it refers to a permanent commission that hears criminal cases. Specifically, it is a standing jury court created by statute to try and pass sentence on particular crimes.

For example, in 149, the lex Calpurnia was passed, which established a permanent court of senators as sworn jurors to deal with claims of provincial extortion. This court was a quaestio perpetua, meaning it was a permanent jury court that provided a framework for dealing with this specific type of crime.

Other examples of quaestiones perpetuae include courts created to deal with crimes such as murder, treason, and bribery. These courts were established to provide a consistent and fair way of dealing with these crimes, rather than relying on ad hoc commissions or the jurisdiction of the assemblies.

Overall, quaestio perpetua refers to a permanent commission or court that is established to deal with specific types of crimes. These courts provide a framework for consistent and fair treatment of criminal cases.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
