A quick definition of written law:

Written Law: This refers to laws that are written down and officially approved. It includes laws made by the government, such as those found in constitutions and treaties, as well as laws passed by lawmakers. This is different from judge-made law, which is created by judges through their decisions in court cases.

A more thorough explanation:

Written law refers to the laws that are written down and officially enacted by a legislative body, such as a government or parliament. This includes statutory law, which is created by the legislative branch of government, as well as constitutions and treaties.

Examples of written law include:

These examples illustrate the definition of written law because they are all official documents that have been written down and enacted by a legislative body. The United States Constitution, for example, is the supreme law of the land and outlines the framework for the federal government. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Geneva Conventions are a series of treaties that establish the standards of international law for humanitarian treatment in war.

UVA loved it, but HLS and Chicago don't seem to love it as much
