In the past when I created this page, I made a separate page for [[law]] and [[laws]]. I think this distinction needs to be made a little clearer on [[law|this page]]. In my mind, ''[[law]]'' is the field and how the related legal system works and what ideologies etc are behind it. ''[[Laws]]'' are the rules they relate to. I know this goes against the general practice for [[Cunnan]] of not using plural nouns for page titles, but I felt they needed separate pages. - [[User:Cian|Cian Gillebhrath]] 11:16, 26 Apr 2006 (EST)

Aren't SCA "laws" better described as rules as they are not backed by a government?--[[User:User 144|User 144]] 22:26, 8 March 2007 (EST)
:Probably true, but they are called Laws, at least at the Kingdom level.  So whether or not the name is, strictly speaking, accurate, it is in use. [[User:AlexandreDavigne|AlexandreDavigne]] 00:20, 9 March 2007 (EST)

:I suspect that anything in the [[Corpora]] is regarded by the mundane court as a by-law of a registered organization. Any kingdom or society handbooks, or declarations by the [[Crown]] are more procedural practises/standing orders. But in the [[SCA]] we try not to confuse the layman and just call them all laws. Rules makes it sound like the SCA is a [[game]] :^P . - [[User:Cian|Cian Gillebhrath]] 09:31, 9 March 2007 (EST)
