Read a random definition: legal insanity

A quick definition of statute law:

Statute law: This is another term for statutory law. It refers to laws that are created by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. These laws are written down and officially published, and they apply to everyone within the jurisdiction of the legislative body. Statute law is different from common law, which is based on court decisions and precedents.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Statute law is a type of law that is created by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. It is also known as statutory law. Statute law is written down and codified, meaning that it is recorded in a formal document, such as a statute book. It is different from common law, which is based on judicial decisions and precedents.

Examples: Examples of statute law include the United States Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the European Convention on Human Rights. These documents were created by legislative bodies and codified into law. They outline the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens and provide a framework for the legal system.

The examples illustrate the definition of statute law because they were created by legislative bodies and are written down in a formal document. They are also codified, meaning that they are organized and recorded in a specific way. These documents are important because they provide a foundation for the legal system and outline the rights and freedoms of citizens.
