The history of Roman procedural law is thus a history of evolution: from the private vengeance of early society to the highly formalized rituals of the Republic, to the more flexible proceedings of the Principate and Empire. This essay traces the three principal phases of Roman civil procedure—legis actiones, formulae, and cognitio extra ordinem—highlighting their structure, function, and historical context.
