A quick definition of consuetudinary law:

Consuetudinary law is an old type of law that is based on traditions passed down through word of mouth. It is different from written laws that are created by governments. It is like rules that people in a community follow because they have always been followed. It is like when your family has a tradition of eating a special meal on a certain day every year. Everyone knows to do it because it has always been done that way.

A more thorough explanation:

Consuetudinary law is a type of ancient customary law that is based on an oral tradition. It comes from the Latin word "consuetudo" which means "custom".

For example, in some indigenous communities, there are traditional laws that have been passed down orally from generation to generation. These laws are not written down, but they are still enforced and respected by the community.

Another example is the common law system, which is based on judicial decisions and precedents rather than written laws. This system developed in England and has been adopted by many other countries, including the United States.

Overall, consuetudinary law is a type of legal system that relies on tradition and custom rather than written laws or statutes.
