Some Aspects of Custom, Written Law and Pravila seen as Sources of Medieval Romanian Law

ABSTRACT: The concept of "source of law" is the starting point of social relations, as it provides the foundation for rules of conduct, the behavior of parties, and the concept of legal order. It is said that 'in the beginning was the word', meaning that legal customs provided the basis for social relations, which later became known as legal relations. As society evolved, so did the evolution of law, leading to the emergence of non-specialized written law, and later, specialized written law. This evolution can also be observed in Romanian law.
