Evils; wrongs; offenses against right and law.
[1913 Webster]

Mala prohibita [L.] (Law), offenses prohibited by statute,
as distinguished from mala in se, which are offenses at
common law.

MALA PROHIBITA (bouvier) | MALA PROHIBITA. Those things which are prohibited by law, and therefore
unlawful.
2. A distinction was formerly made in respect of contracts, between
mala prohibita and mala in se; but that distinction has been exploded, and,
it is now established that when the provisions of an act of the legislature
have for their object the protection of the public, it makes no difference
with respect to contracts, whether the thing be prohibited absolutely or
under a penalty. 5 B. & A 5, 340; 10 B. & C. 98; 3 Stark. 61; 13 Pick. 518;
