/jas pablakam/ Public law, or the law relating to the constitution and functions of government and its officers and the administration of criminal justice. Also public ownership, or the paramount or sovereign territorial right or title of the state or government. The right shared by all to navigate on waters covering foreshore at high tide and, at low tide, to have access across foreshore to waters for fishing, bathing or any other lawful purpose.

See Jus privatum. It implies a right in a sovereign or public capacity to be exercised for the interest or benefit of the state or the public, as distinguished from the exercise in a proprietary capacity of a right of the sovereign or a right possessed by an individual in common with the public. Sovereign's right of jurisdiction and dominion for governmental purposes over all lands and waters within its territorial limits, including tidal waters and their bottoms, is sometimes termed "jus publicum." Jus publicum et privatum quod ex naturalibus prasceptis aut gentium aut civilibus est collectum; et quod in jure scripto jus appellatur, id in lege Angliae rectum ease dicitur /jas pablakam et praveytam kwod eks nastyareylabas praseptas 6t jensh(iy)am 6t savilabas est kalektam, et kwod in juriy skriptow jas abpaleytar, id in liyjiy aengliyiy rektam esiy disatar/ Public and private law is that which is collected from natural principles, either of nations or in states; and that which in the civil law is called "jus," in the law of England is said to be "right."
