Read a random definition: forthcoming

A quick definition of formal law:

Formal law refers to procedural law, which outlines the steps and processes that must be followed in legal proceedings. It is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "formal law" by some writers. Essentially, formal law is concerned with the rules and procedures that must be followed in order to ensure that legal proceedings are fair and just for all parties involved.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Formal law, also known as procedural law, refers to the set of rules and regulations that govern the process of enforcing legal rights and obligations. It outlines the steps that must be followed in order to resolve a legal dispute or bring a case to court.

For example, in criminal law, formal law dictates the procedures that must be followed during a trial, such as the rules of evidence and the rights of the accused. In civil law, formal law governs the process of filing a lawsuit, serving legal papers, and conducting discovery.

Overall, formal law ensures that legal proceedings are conducted fairly and consistently, and that all parties involved are given a fair chance to present their case and defend their rights.
