This book attempts to bring greater theoretical clarity to the often murky topic of custom by showing that custom must be analysed into two more logically basic concepts: convention and habit. Customs are conventional habits and habitual conventions. Once we have a clearer understanding of custom we can better grasp the many roles that custom plays in a legal system.
Habit and convention at the foundation of custom -- Customary law in Suárez : will of the sovereign or of the people? -- A commentary on the Comment : Jeremy Bentham's theory of custom -- James C. Carter's natural law theory of custom.
