| | And, finally, the system of law of the Republic of Belarus as totality of branches of law, legal institutes and rules of law is far from being perfect: there are imperfection of different rules of law including constitutional ones, lack of clear hierarchy of legal acts and contradiction of legal acts. | | | A normative legal act is the main legal source in the countries with legal systems based on Roman-Germanic Law Family unlike those countries with legal systems based on Common Law Family. | | | Rules of law, being a content of legal institutes and branches of law, are created while lawmaking activity of competent state bodies of the Republic of Belarus, and thus the rules of law assume some exterior forms. |

| | Illinois Legal & Judicial System |
| | Illinois has three levels to its court system: circuit courts, Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. | | | Which court system a person enters depends on a number of factors: whether a court has exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter of the case, the amount of damages involved, and the locations of the parties in the case. | | | The Supreme Court is the rule-making body for the state courts and has administrative responsibility for the operation of the state court system. |

| | As in most legal systems, the general principle of freedom of contract between individuals and entities is the backbone of contract law in both countries. | | | This relevant legal issue must also be decided the same way in 5 consecutive cases by majority vote of the judges and without and inconsistent ruling by the deciding court of the Supreme Court. | | | When discussing the structure of the court system in Mexico, one must distinguish between courts of "ordinary jurisdiction" (including, civil, commercial and criminal jurisdiction) and administrative courts or courts of "special jurisdiction". |

| | NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Civil law (legal system) |
| | The Scottish legal system is usually considered to be a mixed system in that Scots law has a basis in Roman law, combining features of both uncodified Civil law dating back to the Corpus Juris Civilis and common law with medieval sources, further influenced by English law after the Union of 1707. | | | Civil law is a legal system derived from Roman law and commonly used in Europe. | | | By contrast, in the common law system, cases are the primary source of law, while statutes are only seen as incursions into the common law and thus interpreted narrowly. |

| | Legal Positivism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | According to this view, legal principles are like legal rules in that both derive their authority under the rule of recognition from the official acts of courts and legislatures. | | | If a legal question is not answered by standards deriving from legal sources then it lacks a legal answer-the law on such questions is unsettled. | | | As Fuller would likely acknowledge, the existence of a legal system is consistent with considerable divergence from the principles of legality. |

| | Sudan - THE LEGAL SYSTEM |
| | The legal profession objected that the Sudanese penal code, which was well established and buttressed by a strong body of case law, was being replaced by the Egyptian code, which was largely transplanted from a French legal system entirely alien to Sudan. | | | This major change in Sudan's legal system was controversial because it disregarded existing laws and customs, introduced many new legal terms and concepts from Egyptian law without source material necessary to interpret the codes, and presented serious problems for legal education and training. | | | The primary legal influence remained British, because of the weight given to British legal precedents and because most of the lawyers and judges were British-trained. |

| | A Pragmatic Legal Expert System |
| | The author describes the development of a legal expert system, called SHYSTER, which takes a pragmatic approach to case law. | | | He discusses the testing of SHYSTER in four different and disparate areas of case law, and draws conclusions about the advantages and limitations of this approach to legal expert system development. | | | It advocates a simpler, pragmatic approach in which the utility of a legal expert system is evaluated by reference, not to the extent to which it simulates a lawyer's approach to a legal problem, but to the quality of its predictions and of its arguments. |
