Document Summary
Where do laws come from: according to a custom-law perspective, laws may find their first base in our cultures norms and customs. Whether these norms or customs result from conflict or consensus, is another question altogether. But, you generally see these norms and customs reflected in what becomes law. A lot of times when law is created it is in response to someone violating those norms of typically how we behave. Some norms become laws and others do not necessarily need to be laws. They are just generally accepted and understood as a way of behaving. *so, when those norms become serious enough to interfere with the functioning of society or when violating those norms becomes serious enough to interfere with the functioning of society, that"s typically when you start to see a law created* We have customs are not always legally prioritized.
