  1. 5.1.30.pracceptum est semel iudicium, ibi et finem accipere debet

    The subject iudicium in the subordinate clause also functions as the subject of the main clause's verb phrase finem accipere debet. The particle et is used adverbially to mean "also," emphasizing that the place where a trial is concluded must be identical to where it was initiated.
