Introduction to Law
What is law?
- Law governs societies (the activities of persons and legal entities).
- It varies between different jurisdictions (countries)
- Provides necessary rules, balancing different competing interests.
- What happens when a society does not have reliable legal structure in place?
The main sources of law:
Written:
- Code
- Act of parliament (statute)
- Delegated legislation
As opposed to:
- Case law = the law produced through a series of decisions made by judges in the
higher courts. It is usually concerned with the development and application of existing
principles of law being applied to cases coming before courts.
- Custom. Most custom law is part of common law. Those who aren’t are relatively
unimportant.
Different sorts of legal systems:
Common law / Civil law:
Common law system:
- Continuity from old law.
- Absence of a legal code
- Law-making role judges
- Doctrine of binding precedent
- Passive role judge, active role of lawyers in adversarial system of trial
Advantages: flexible, up to date.
Disadvantages: power lays with non-elected judge, difficult to find
Civil law system:
- Law codes
- Democratically drafted legislation
- Case law serves as a guide, non-binding
- Active role judge, passive role lawyers in inquisitorial system of trial
Advantages: laws are made by a chosen body, easy to find.
Disadvantages: rigid, out of date.
Private and Public Law:

- Governs law between a state and its citizens.
- Regulates the relationship between a state and a natural person or organization.
Examples: constitutional law, criminal law, taxation law.

Example: contract law, labour law, business law, civil law.
, National law / international law:
National law:
- Law concerning the country.
- Law made by political bodies of the country applicable within the country.
- A democratically run country will have an elected government with a process of
proposal, debate and voting to bring laws into existence.
- National law only applies in the country that makes them.
International law:
- Agreement between two or more states.
- Countries agree on conventions (treaties).
- Countries set up international law-making bodies, for example:
United Nations (UN), European Union (EU Treaties), Hague Conference on Private
International Law (HCCH Conventions, protocols, principles, regulations) World Trade
Organization (WTO), International Labour Organization (ILO Conventions)

- European council: made up of presidents or prime ministers of the states plus the
president of the European union.
- Council of the European union: the main decision-making body. Members are a
minister of each member state. Different ministers for different meetings.
- European parliament: 751 members directly elected by citizens of EU every five
years. This has three main roles:

laws so that they conform to the directive within a specified time limit.
