Prohibition of Counselors Practicing in Their Own Court

Passage 238 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This section rules on the prohibition of a counselor conducting legal business in his own court while serving, while permitting him to do so in another's court.

[PAULUS libro primo sententiarum. ] §1.22.5.prConsiliari eo tempore quo adsidet negotia tractare in suum quidem auditorium nullo modo concessum est, in alienum autem non prohibetur.
[PAULUS, Opinions, Book One.] A counselor is by no means permitted to conduct business in his own court during the time he is sitting as an assessor, but he is not prohibited from doing so in that of another.

Notes

  1. §1.22.5.prConsiliari — Dative singular of the noun consiliarius (counselor, assessor). It depends on the impersonal passive verb concessum est (it is permitted), serving as the logical subject (agent) of the infinitive phrase negotia tractare.
  2. §1.22.5.prauditorium — Refers to a hall of justice, court, or place where hearings are conducted. In the latter half of the sentence, the noun auditorium is understood as omitted after in alienum.
