Edict

An edict ( " prescribe " from Latin edicere " make known " ) called in Roman law public statements of the Municipality, especially those of the praetors to principles of the application of the law ( legal promise ) during her tenure. Later thus were referred to laws of the emperor.

In modern times, the term

  • Especially for French kings laws that regulate an individual object ( contrary to orderly )
  • In legal language but also for public notices (as opposed to understandings that are received only the parties ).
