 David Johnston, 'The General Influence of Roman Institutions of State and Public Law' (1997)
Whatever else the Roman jurists suggested, it was rarely that ius publicum was conceived as a separate branch of the law concerned with the state or its constitution.
A common theme which does, however, emerge in the jurists' references to ius publicum, at least from the reign of Hadrian, is its connexion with the common good or public interest, utilitas publica [11].
It might be said that the jurists, having in their practice and study of private law no need or opportunity for exposition of the nature and extent of the powers and jurisdiction of state magistracies, determined to exploit the opportunity to do this in connexion with municipal magistrates instead.

It was a "jurist" university in origin, owing to the organization by Imerius of a school of law, distinct from the arts school in the early 12th century and the adoption of the "Decretum Gratiani" of the Camaldolese (or Benedictine) monk, Gratian, as the recognized text-book of canon law (c.

That which distinguishes the discourse on natural law conducted by the lay jurists from that proposed by medieval theologians is, according to our author, the significant difference between what the former assign to the term nature as opposed to the latter.
Authors such as the jurist gave themselves the objective of reinterpreting the scriptural propositions and sayings, confronting the absolute character of theological doctrine with the contingency and provisional nature typical of the epistemological rules that define the modern social sciences.

Gratian himself was, as far as I can tell the first jurist to give the maxim its classic form in a dictum of the first recension of his Decretum: "Quia enim necessitas non habet legem, set ipsa sibi facit legem."
Alanus noted that the sentence was a borrowing from a fairly obscure passage in the section of Justinian's Digest devoted to the Lex Aquilia.

Sohm took a contrarian view, arguing that Gratian’s Decretum was rather the final masterpiece of non-jurisprudential, non-jurisdictional, "sacramental" law, the ultimate link in a chain first forged around 100 with the passing of the charismatic church.
But this was not what Gratian had intended: Gratian was a theologian, not a lawyer. To Sohm, Alexander III and the decretists were the revolutionaries.
In the postwar period, Sohm's ecclesiological theories have continued to attract theologians, not jurists. They play a role even in contemporary discussions of church and state. Despite much effective criticism, it seems that Sohm, however wrong he was in both argument and evidence, still stimulates reflection on canon law in the twelfth century.
