Domestic Law

Domestic law refers to the legal rules and statutes that govern activities within a specific country or nation. It covers areas such as criminal laws, civil rights, property rights, contract laws, and family laws, providing a framework for individuals, organizations, and the government to interact and resolve disputes. Domestic law is created by local lawmakers, such as parliaments or congress, and enforced by national courts. It’s distinct from international law, which regulates relations between countries. Essentially, domestic law maintains order and justice within a country’s borders, ensuring societal stability and individual rights are upheld.
