After the fall of the Western Roman Empire the world continued to see the legacy of Greek and Roman influences. The Roman Empire brought civilization to people through the acculturation of Greek ideas and concepts. Rome’s legacy is evident today in laws and government that still create and inspire legal practices in the modern world based upon the “The Twelve Tables”. The Twelve Tables apply equality to all members of society just as today’s society is protected by current laws and Constitution. For example one human right that we all know is the premise, “One is innocent until proven guilty”. The importance of law in our modern Government is represented by legislative bodies protecting human rights which were built and based upon Roman models.…

In 450 B.C. Rome established 12 laws written by 10 men to govern Roman citizens and protect the lower class from abuse by the ruling class. Called the Twelve Tables, these statutes also governed how offenders were prosecuted and provided compensation for victims. The foundation of modern law was formed from these statutes. Justinian Code established in A.D. 529, and named after the Emperor of Byzantine. The Emperor was the first to codify law in a series of books called Corpus Juris Civilis. His work was the foundation of modern law and the concept of justice.…

Roman law is made up of two simple yet complex principles: The law must be recorded and justice could not be left in the hands of judges alone to interpret, Roman Law also included the 12 tables. If you look at the Canadian law system you realize that these two principles are incorporated into our laws. Once Roman law started recording their laws every generation since then has recorded their laws as well so they have an official document of laws to refer to, so here in Canada we have any law written on a document so everyone has access to it and no one can say they weren’t aware of the laws and to make sure they are correctly enforced in society. The second principle of Roman law also shaped our laws, in Canada we do use judges to help interpret our laws but we don't leave it up to just them we also have a jury at times to help make an assertive decision or higher levels of court to ensure justice is…

From the Code of Hammurabi and Twelve Tables were the foundation of principles, rules and guidelines that humans needed to live by in order to survive. Today courts follow a similar code by upholding the laws and making sure that the ones that choose to violate them are punished accordingly. “The common law can be better understood when it is contrasted with special law, which refers to the laws of specific villages and localities that were in effect in medieval England and that were often enforced by canonical courts. Under the reign of Henry II (1154–1189), national law was introduced, but not through legislative authority as is customary today. Rather, Henry II implemented a system whereby judges from his own central court went out into the countryside to preside over disputes. They resolved these disputes based on what they perceived as custom. The judges effectively created law, as there was no democratic law-forming process in place at the time” (Siegel, Schmallege, & Worrall, 2011, Chapter 1). Precedent refers to past decisions on similar cases, which make it easier for judges to follow on most outcomes of their current case. The precedent has been a great way to keep similar cases flowing easier and quicker through the court system, which is a huge…
Without governing the actions of business and social laws, society and business would not function effectively, and more than likely—commerce would crumble. Social and business laws seem simple from the outside looking in. However, the legal system in the United States can be very complex but can be broken down into groups: statutes, constitutions, administrative decisions and regulations, common law, treaties, executive orders and ordinances. Of these groups, the most common terms one may hear in a business or social environment are constitutional, common, statutory and administrative law.…
