How Laws Are Made: The Courts, Sharon Bradley
Presentations
Law, as defined in Black’s Law Dictionary, is “a body of rules of action or conduct prescribed by controlling authority and having binding legal force.” Our laws come from our three branches of Government: legislative, executive, and judicial. These webinars will focus on the law-making activities of each branch, the documents that are created during the process, and how they are used by lawyers and legal researchers.
Courts interpret statutes, determine constitutionality, and create law as part of our common law system.
