“''Jus eat ars boni et aqua''” – the law is the art of goodness and equity. That is how Roman’s jurist Celsus defined law. This definition represents and encompasses the desires of Roman people and their will to create and implement laws, a desire that indeed managed to comprehensively cross the barriers of time and reach out to the modern world as we know it today. Roman law is the stable foundation on which modern legal culture has developed and evolved upon as a whole. The Civil law system <ref>also known as Continental European law system</ref> is based on the late Roman law and its most distinctive feature - that its core principles are codified into a system which servers as the primary source of law.
