Customary law
text:
A legal custom is the established pattern of behavior within a particular social setting. A claim can be carried out in defense of "what has always been done and accepted by law". Customary law exists where:
- a certain legal practice is observed and
- the relevant actors consider it to be an opinion of law or necessity. Most customary laws deal with standards of the community that have been long-established in a given locale. However, the term can also apply to areas of international law
