The document proposes new classifications of law that aim to better facilitate good global governance. It distinguishes between associative/institutional law created by organizations versus legislative law created by governments. Associative/institutional law would govern conduct within and between groups and organizations. The document also distinguishes between conduct law regarding individual and group behavior, and utilization law concerning resource use. Finally, it distinguishes between open law that is non-mandatory and can be adapted by all, versus closed law that requires more conformity and is maintained by authorized bodies.

New Taxonomy of Law
They are used in Good Global Governance (GGG)
2. Time to Rethink
Let's have a quick
overview of the
classification of the law we
have today.
Below is one classification
from the Library of
Congress.

of-law)
3. Time to Rethink
Case law or Common law —
created by a judicial body, such as
the Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals or the Virginia Supreme
Court
Statutory law — created by a
legislative body, such as the U.S.
Congress or the State of Maryland
General Assembly
Regulatory law — related and
enforced by an administrative body,
such as the U.S. Department of
Labor or the State of Michigan Fair
Employment Practices
Commission
4. Time to Rethink
International Law. Public
international law concerns
relationships between sovereign
nations.
Constitutional and Administrative
Law. Constitutional and
administrative law govern the
affairs of the state.
Criminal Law. Criminal law, also
known as penal law, pertains to
crimes and punishment.
This is another classification from
Wikipedia.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law)
5. Time to Rethink
Contract Law. Contract law
concerns enforceable promises,
and can be summed up in the
Latin phrase pacta sunt servanda
(agreements must be kept).
Torts and Delicts. Certain civil
wrongs are grouped together as
torts under common law systems
and delicts under civil law
systems.
Property Law. Property law
governs ownership and
possession.
6. Time to Rethink
Equity and Trust. This meant equity
came to operate more through
principles than rigid rules. Whereas
neither the common law nor civil
law systems allow people to split the
ownership from the control of one
piece of property, equity allows this
through an arrangement known as a
trust. Trustees control property
whereas the beneficial, or equitable,
ownership of trust property is held
by people known as beneficiaries.
Trustees owe duties to their
beneficiaries to take good care of
the entrusted property.
7. Time to Rethink
Social Law. Social Law refers to
laws that govern social conduct.
These are found in Social
Normalization Systems.
Resources Law. Resources Law
refers to the decisions involved
in the use of resources such as
land and the internet. Resources
law is a type of Associative Law.
New Taxonomy of Law
The following classification of the
law aims at GGG (Good Global
Governance). (I made up this term.)
8. Time to Rethink
Associative Law or Institutional Law.
Associative Law or Institutional Law refers
to group and organizational conduct that
are found in businesses, associations, and
organizations and which govern a variety of
aspects of human life. It also includes laws
that govern the institutions themselves.
Subcategories of Associative Law or
Institutional Law are Intraassociative Law
or Intrainstitutional Law (Laws referring to
conduct within groups and institutions) and
Interassociative Law or Interinstitutional
Law (Laws referring to conduct between
groups and institutions.) Associative Law or
Institutional Law is created by associations,
organizations or institutions as opposed to
Legislative Law done by a legislative
government body.
9. Time to Rethink
Other classifications of Law
which are based on the
GCC are:
Conduct Law Vs Utilization
Law. Conduct Law refers to
laws that involve conduct
for individuals and
institutions whereas
Utilization Law refers to
the use of resources.
10. Time to Rethink
Open Law Vs Closed Law. Open
Law refers to laws that are open
for everyone to adopt, manipulate
and change and also that give
people the liberty to subscribe or
not. Social Laws are examples of
Open Law. Closed Laws on the
other hand require some levels of
conformity and are only
maintained by authorized bodies.
Resource Laws and Institutional
Laws are examples of Closed Laws.
