traditional law

Traditional law refers to established legal systems and principles that have developed over time through history, cultural practices, and historical precedent. It includes long-standing customs, regional statutes, and foundational legal concepts that guide how societies regulate behavior, resolve disputes, and uphold justice. Unlike modern, codified laws that are written and systematically organized, traditional law often relies on customary practices and community consensus. It provides a framework for maintaining order and respecting cultural norms within a community or nation, forming the basis for more formal legal systems today.
