Study Notes

Introduction to Business Law and Legal Systems

  • Constitutions: These are the supreme laws of a country, outlining governmental powers and individual rights. Business laws must align with constitutional principles.
  • Statutes (Legislation): Laws passed by federal, state, or local legislative bodies (e.g., Congress or state legislatures). Most of business law is statutory (e.g., consumer protection acts, company acts).
  • Administrative Regulations: Rules and decisions made by government agencies (e.g., the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Trade Commission). These agencies often have specific authority delegated by statutes to regulate particular industries or activities.
  • Case Law (Common Law): Laws developed from the decisions of judges in court cases. When judges interpret statutes or apply legal principles, their decisions can become precedents that guide future cases. Many contract and tort principles come from common law.
