Legal Issue

A matter or dispute that concerns law or legal principles and requires legal knowledge to resolve.

Societal Norms

Shared expectations and rules that guide behavior within a society.

Common Law

The traditional unwritten law of England, based on custom and usage, which began to develop over a thousand years before the founding of the United States. Today, almost all common law has been enacted into statutes with modern variations by all the states except Louisiana, which is still influenced by the Napoleonic Code. In some states, the principles of common law are so basic they are applied without reference to statute.
