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) |

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 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. - Cian Gillebhrath 11:16, 26 Apr 2006 (EST)
