The Nature of Law

The sources of American Law are:

·         Constitutional Law

·         Statutory Law

·         Administrative Law

·         Case Law

Constitutional law is derived from the U.S. Constitution and the various state constitutions.  The supreme law of the land is the U.S. Constitution and it takes precedence over state constitutions.  State constitutions are supreme within their own individual state borders as long as there is no violation or conflict with the U.S. Constitution or a federal law.

Statutory law is comprised of statutes and ordinances enacted by federal, state, and local legislatures.  These laws may not violate the U.S. Constitution or the applicable state constitution.

Administrative law is derived from decisions, rules, and orders from administrative agencies.

Case law is comprised of the various decisions arrived at by judges for cases through interpretations of statutes and regulations.

In a civil proceeding, the party bringing the action or suit is commonly referred to as the plaintiff and party against whom the suit is brought is commonly referred to as the defendant.

The Resolution of Private Disputes

Alternative solutions have been offered to litigation in an effort to reduce time and effort.  The alternative measures fall under a broad category referred to as alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Methods include:

·         Mediation

·         Arbitration

·         Online Dispute Resolution

 

 

Business and the Constitution

Business decisions may be impacted by the following areas of law:

·         Contracts

·         Product Liability

·         Intellectual Property

·         Sales

·         Negotiable Instruments

·         Creditors’ Rights

·         E-Commerce

·         Professional Liability

·         Agency

·         Torts

·         Business Organizations

·         Courts, Court Procedures

Constitutional law is the law expressed in the U.S. Constitution and the various state constitutions.  The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land (Article VI).  A law that is found to be in violation of the Constitution is unconstitutional and unenforceable.  The Tenth Amendment reserves to the states all powers that are not given to the federal government.  Each state has its own constitution and it is supreme within its own borders to the extent that it does not conflict with the U.S. Constitution.

Business Ethics

It is important for one to have solid foundation of business law and the legal environment; however, this alone is not enough.  One must also understand how to act in business dealings and transactions.  This is known as business ethics.  Ethics is basically the study of what is considered to be right or wrong behavior.  It focuses on moral principles and concepts such as fairness and right or wrong.  Business ethics deals with all of this in the business environment.  Business ethics is important to the longevity of a company as well as the overall well-being and self-value of the officers, directors, and employees.

One of the most important ways to establish an effective ethical tone within the organization is to create an ethical code of conduct.  Distribute it to everyone.
