[21]. The term jus commune is found in the civil law also, but in senses unconnected with that which here concerns us. It sometimes signifies jus naturale as opposed to jus civile (D. 1. 1. 6. pr.), while at other times it is contrasted with jus singulare, that is to say, anomalous rules of law inconsistent with general legal principles, but established utilitatis causa to serve some special need or occasion.
