The usual practice is to introduce in the prologue which is commonly attached to the laws given out during each year of the king's reign, after the mention of the date "Kalendiis Martiarum," some such expression as "cum nostris Judicibus"; or "ad nos conjungerentur Judices"; or "per suggestionem Judicum"; to which is sometimes added the formula "omniumque consensum," or "cum reliquis nostris Langobardis fidelis."

In speaking of these "causae" in the above-mentioned prologue to the laws, he says: "Proinde providimus eas usque ad suprascriptum diem Kalendii Martiarum suspendere dum usque nostri ad nos conjungerentur judices," etc. This attendance at the royal placita represents the most important of the legislative duties of the judex outside of his own jurisdiction.
