Sources of Law


 Sources of Law

The Law as a system of the law finds expression in the sources of the law.

The term “a source of the law” refers to the external form in which an objective law is expressed (the totality of all norms of law, the system of law). 

In this sense, the sources of the law are: a legal custom, a normative agreement, a judicial precedent, a normative legal act and a legal doctrine.

Legal custom is an act-document containing a rule of conduct that has developed due to repeated application for a long time, which is sanctioned by the state and provided by the force of a state coercion.

The state does not recognize all the customs that have developed in a society, but only those that are of the greatest importance for society, meet its interests and correspond to the historical stage of its development.

The legal custom is the most ancient source of law, historically and actually preceded the law.
