THE SOURCES OF LAW

Abstract

When it comes to the sources of law, “primary sources” and “secondary sources” come to mind. Primary sources states how and under which conditions legal rules occur and where they come from. Secondary sources are the sources that present in what ways legal rules are seen and these are called “formal sources of law”. Formal sources of law are divided into “written sources” and “unwritten sources”. “Subsidiary sources” can be added to them. Written sources: it consists of delegated legislations, regulations and guidelines. Unwritten sources constitute customs law. Subsidiary sources are made up case law (judicial) and jurisprudence (doctrine)
