    The Praetor's Edict (Edictum praetoris) in ancient Roman law was an annual declaration of principles made by the new praetor urbanus – the elected magistrate charged with administering justice within the city of Rome. [note 1] During the early Empire the Praetor's Edict was revised to become the Edictum perpetuum .
    As later summarized by the Roman jurist Papinian (c. 148–211), the law that was developed by the praetors in their Edict became an instrument which could supplement, explain, and improve the Ius civile. He writes:
    While the edict of the praetor urbanus tends to take center stage in discussions of judicial edicts in Rome, Roman magistrates that left the city every year to govern Roman provinces also issued such edicts.
    So, in deciding whether or not to augment or otherwise modify the edict, the new praetor would usually consult with Roman jurists who were familiar with the applicable areas of the law, and who knew the emerging currents of legal change. Language from the responsa of these Roman scholars of jurisprudence often found its way into the Edict.
