Part time LLM in Statutory Law

What is Statutory Law? Statutory law is the body of rules that define rights and obligations in society. They are created by or under authority granted by legislatures or other bodies that act as higher-level governing bodies. Statutory laws are passed into power after being debated, written, and voted upon according to specific government procedures. These laws start off as bills, and if they pass through the different stages of voting and legal scrutiny, eventually become law.What are some fields where Statutory Law is used? Statutory law can apply to nearly every legal sector and is frequently used in healthcare, business, finance, labor relations, taxation law, transportation law, and criminal law. These various branches have statutes that determine how they function most effectively. What are the benefits of studying Statutory Law? As statutory law is created by elected officials, studying this field helps students become well-versed in government operations. Learning about the different laws that govern the various branches of government helps one to understand how all parts work together to create a cohesive governing force. It also enlightens an individual on the impact their vote has when electing officials for these different governing bodies.Statutory law degrees are also beneficial because they allow one to acquire a foundational legal education, which can later be built upon with advanced degrees in other legal fields. Statutory law students can go on to careers as attorneys, judges, and law-makers.
