JUS FUTURUM. In the civil law. A future right; an inchoate. incipient, or expectant right, not yet fuiiy vested. It may be either "jus deiutum." when the subse- quent acquisition or vesting of it depends merely on the will of the person in whom it is to iest, or "jux noiiduni dciatu.1n," when it depends on the future occurrence of other circumstances or conditions. Mackeld. Rom. Law, § 191.
.1115 GENTIUIK. The law of nations. That law which ii:-itui-iii reason has estab- iished among all men is equally observed among ail nations, and is called the "law of nations," as being the law which iiii nations use. Inst 1, 2, 1; Dig. 1. 1, 9; 1 Bl. Comm. 43: 1 Kent, Comm. 7; Mackeid. Rom. Law. § 125.
Although this phrase had a meaning in the Roman law which may be rendered by our expression "iiiw of nations." it must not he understood as equiv .nt to vihat we now cail "international in its scope being much wider. It was originally a system of law, or more properly equity. gathered by the enri_v Roman lawyers and magistrates from the common in- gradients in the customs of the old Itaiian tfibes.——those being the nations, yentes, whom they had opportunities of obs:-rvjng.—to be used in cases where the jun c-Erilc «lid not iippiy; that is. in cases between fori gners or hctween a Roman citizen and a forniguer. The principle upon Wilidl they proceeded was that any ruie of law which was common to all the nations they knew of must he intrinsiciiiiy consonant to right reason, and therefore fundamentally vaiid and just. From this it was an easy transition to tiic converse principle. viiv... that any riiie which instinctively commended itseif to their sense of justice and reason must he a part of the ins pmtiiun. And so the iatter term came eientually to be about synnnvmous with "cquiiv." (as the Romans understood it.) or the system of pnetnriaii law.
Modern jurists fr:-qiientlv empioy the term "jiw griitium pri1.=a!iim" to denote private international law, or that subject which is other- wise styied the "confiict of laws:" and "i-its géntiuiii publirum" [or public ll.]C9l'llIl ional law. or the system of ruies governing the intercourse of nations with each other as persons.
