Privilegium fori

Privilegium fori

The privilegium fori, Latin for "Privilege of the (legal) forum", is a generic term for legal privileges to be tried in a particular court or type of court of law.

Typically, it is an application of the principle of trial by one's peers, either by such a jury or at least by a specific court from that social segment, such as a soldier by a court martial, a cleric by a canon court.
