 | | A custom can become a law, or even have the force of law, and unless the law specifically abrogates the custom, the custom is still a custom. | | | One cannot appeal to the fact that, when a law was in force, people observed the law and say that this resulted in a custom that has force of law even after the law dealing with the matter is abrogated. | | | In other words, if a custom has been practiced for 100 years, then even a canon of the 1983 code which specifically mandates that head coverings are not to be worn, cannot usurp the previous custom! |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Law |
| | If the legislative power belongs to a people itself it can impose obligation upon itself as a whole, if it has not this power the obligation can only be formed with the consent of the lawgiver (see CUSTOM). | | | Frequently, however, we speak of equity only in reference to positive laws. | | | Another condition of law is that it should proceed from the representative of the highest public authority, be this a single person, several persons, or finally the totality of all the members of the community, as in a democracy. |

| | Law & Custom: The Thought of Thomas Aquinasand the Future of Common Law |
| | The opening one, “Law and Custom in the Western Legal Traditions,” sets the historical context by outlining the importance of custom in Roman law, which had a strong hold on continental law through the medieval period and was influential in the Anglo-American common-law tradition. | | | The author’s argument in favor of common law has a certain libertarian flavor (quotations of Hayek abound) the main contention being that common law, understood as custom, requires the free participation of all citizens, whereas enacted legislation is made by a select few. | | | Perhaps this is to overstate the case, as Aquinas’ brief reference to custom is made against the more general and extensive background of his “Treatise on Law” in which enacted legislation undoubtedly has a prime position. |

| | Statutes which reflect English common law are understood always to be interpreted in light of the common law tradition, and so may leave a number of things unsaid because they are already understood from the point of view of pre-existing case law and custom. | | | The opposition between civil law and common law legal systems has become increasingly blurred, with the growing importance of jurisprudence (almost like case law but in name) in civil law countries, and the growing importance of statute law and codes in common law countries (for instance, in matters of criminal and commercial law). | | | Scots common law differs in that the use of precedents is subject to the courts seeking to discover the principle which justifies a law rather than to search for an example as a precedent and that the principles of natural justice and fairness have always formed a source of Scots Law. |

| | And that which is expressed by several and continual acts of the same kind, is a custom; and so briefly, custom is a reasonable act, re-iterated, multiplied, and continued by the people time out of mind, And this is the definition of a custom, which hath the virtue and force of a law. | | | From that time on we find law increasingly linked to territory, although arguably that link between jurisdiction and territory is now being compromised by the re-emergence in the 20th century of specialised bodies in the form of administrative tribunals. | | | Thus, at the same time as acknowledging what he calls ‘sui generis system[s] of rights and obligations’, von Doussa J also reaffirms the position of the common law as the pre-eminent jurisdiction and denies that rights and interests can be accorded other than by the Australian legal system. |

| | Moreover, the international law at issue is not that to which the United States has assented by ratifying a treaty, or customary international law acknowledged as such by the United States, but instead unratified international conventions and assertions of customary international law which the United States does not accept as custom. | | | Moreover, the terms “international law” and “law of nations,” and the range of subjects they cover, have shifted in sense so enormously over two centuries that it does not seem to mean much to say that the Court has long cited international law. | | | British law occupies a very special place with respect to the transition from the Colonies to the United States; there is no historically comparable body of law from any other source over which one could conceivably have the same argument. |

| | The Theorist as Judge: Hersch Lauterpacht's Concept of the International Judicial Function |
| | Lauterpacht indicated that, to some extent, he found pacta sunt servanda inadequate as a fundamental presupposition because it refers solely to agreements between states and accordingly does not directly explain the binding force of custom or of general principles of law. | | | An initial hypothesis expressed in the terms of voluntas civitatis maximae est servanda would point, as the source of law, to the will of the international society expressing itself in contractual agreements between its constituent members, in their customs, and in the general principles of law which no civilized community can afford to ignore;... | | | 24 In contrast to the opinion expressed in Function of Law, Lauterpacht argues in `The Grotian Tradition' that pacta sunt servanda gives a basis for the `volitional Law of Nations', that is international law which is based on agreement, `whether expressed in a treaty or implied by custom' (supra note 9, at 354). |
