Legal Question in International Law in Wisconsin

Re: Definition of the 6 types of law

Why restrict it to six types of law? There are at least 50 other categories taught at law schools, each of which is generally broken into two semesters, and each of which has developed through a few hundred years of legal precedent.

At risk of sounding like a wiseguy, I could simply answer your question as follows: constitutional law is the law of constitutions, statutory law is the law of statutes, administrative law is the law of administrations. Common law is the law of common knowledge, history and tradition which may not be fully codified by cases or statutes (although the English Common Law upon which our own is based is quite codified). The law of Equity relates to the protection of interests which may not be readily evident from title ownership or statute, while, International Law is the law relating to the interactions between nations and their inhabitants.

I hope that helps. Perhaps you could rephrase your question with a bit more specificity, in which event I may be able to give you a more useful answer.
