Although some distinctions are possible, often conlation of substantive (what?) and procedural laws (how to change what?) Functionally do the same things as modern legal systems according to sociologists. Regulate and standardize how interactions take place. No real deined diference between the law and social life. There is an attempt to diferentiate between social groups and the law. Advanced agrarian and early industrial systems: economic, educational and political systems increasingly diferentiated from kinship. Relected by increase social complexity: private and public laws become distinct, criminal versus torts laws also becomes distinct. Practice of common law provokes greater codiication and systematization of laws. From serving the elite, more general and enguling in scope. Specialized legal professional, and a visible degree of political and national unity. There is a diference between types of leadership and they aren"t always related to kin.
