Customary law (Bobby Brown)

Customary law, as discussed by Bobby Brown, refers to the traditional legal systems and customs that communities develop and follow over generations. It governs social, cultural, and sometimes legal matters based on longstanding practices, rituals, and beliefs specific to a community or region. Unlike formal, written laws enacted by governments, customary law is built on customary norms recognized and respected by the community members. It plays a vital role in preserving cultural identity and addressing local disputes, often operating alongside formal legal systems.
