The legal term Corpus Juris means "body of law". It was originally used by the Romans for several of their collections of all the laws in a certain field. Later the term was used for collections of laws in the US, as in Corpus Juris Secundum.

The term has been revived by the European Union for a set of laws applicable throughout that political entity.
