''Lex scripta'' pl. ''leges scriptae'' is a Latin expression that means "written or statutory law." It is in contrast to ''lex non scripta'', customary or common law. The term originates from the Roman legal tradition. Emperor Justinian divides the ''lex scripta'' into several categories: *Statutes *Plebiscita *Senatorial Decrees *The Decisions of the Emperors *Orders of the Magistrates *Answers of Jurisconsults ''Lex scripta'' has a lasting effect that can define a legal tradition for a culture such as that found in the ''Corpus Juris Civilis'', Magna Carta, Tang Code, or a country's constitution. ==See also== *List of Latin phrases 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lex scripta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
