jus

JUS. Law or right. This term is applied in many modern phrases. It is also 
used to signify equity. Story, Eq. Jur. Sec. 1; Bract, lib. 1, c. 4, p. 3; 
Tayl. Civ. Law, 147; Dig. 1, 1, 1. 
     2. The English law, like the Roman, has its jus antiquum and jus novum 
and jus novissimum. The jus novum may be supposed to have taken its origin 
about the end of the reign of Henry VII. A. D. 1509. It assumed a regular 
form towards the end of the reign of Charles II. A. D. 1685, and from that 
period the jus novissimum may be dated. Lord Coke, who was born 40 years 
after the death of Henry VII. is most advantageously considered as the 
connecting link of the jus antiquum and jus novissimum of English law.
