GUIDE WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Objectives of law - Answer✔️✔️-law exists to influence behavior
Hammurabi--in one of the oldest law codes known to man opined that "law exists to
protect the weak from the strong"
As a society we criminalize behavior that we wish not to tolerate and in that way we
seek to deter or influence certain behavior; we do the same with civil law.
statutory law - Answer✔️✔️-Our legal representatives pass laws (both civil and criminal)
in the form of statutes and codes
common law - Answer✔️✔️-Court's make law in the way that they interpret law - we call
this case law. We adopted the common law from England and we have added to it over
the past 230+ years. Many of the "rights" that we hold dear to us come from the
common law (case law) - 'right to privacy'
precedent - Answer✔️✔️-an earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or
guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances.
(stare decisis)
criminal law - Answer✔️✔️-statutory in nature.
