A quick definition of source of law:

Source of Law: Something that gives power to make laws and legal decisions. It can be a constitution, treaty, statute, or custom. It is where laws come from and how they are decided. There are different sources of law, like rules made by judges, laws made by governments, and traditions that have been followed for a long time. Legal information can be found in books, computer databases, and other media, which are also sources of law.

A more thorough explanation:

A source of law is something that provides authority for legislation and judicial decisions. It is the point of origin for law or legal analysis.

For example, a constitution, treaty, statute, or custom can be a source of law. These sources provide the basis for legal decisions and help judges determine the rules by which to decide cases.

Another example of a source of law is the opinion of experts, morality, and equity. These sources can be used to make legal decisions in certain situations.

It is important to note that sources of law can refer to the origins of legal concepts and ideas, governmental institutions that formulate legal rules, and published manifestations of the law.

Overall, sources of law are essential in the legal system as they provide the foundation for legal decisions and help ensure fairness and justice for all.
