What's the difference ( remeber Aristotle ? Herodotus?) between law and code ( particularly municiple ), etc ? Quasi judicial and quaSI criminal? These are dark areas of law and should be explained. ` Wblakesxwblakesx

Text removed (in italics):

includes measures of formal distrust and other ways

Distrust is an article written by banned user EntmootsOfTrolls and recreated by his suspected reincarnation, JRR Trollkien. Because it is doubtful whether that article should exist, given our policy for handling such text, I object to having links added to it, especially when that same user is adding the links. If another user wants to vouch for it, I can live with that. Kim Bruning restored a link on checks and balances (there was no text besides the link). Since he restored it there, but not here, I read that as a conscious choice about where the link belongs, so I do not believe JRR Trollkien is justified in restoring it here. Furthermore, here it involves additional text, which I think disrupts the flow and the thought communicated by the sentence it is in. Checks and balances is already linked in the sentence; distrust is now linked as part of that article; the distrust article, as written, relates more directly to that topic than to legal codes generally; in this context, it seems out of place. If another person wants to restore the link, they are welcome to try addressing my concerns. --Michael Snow 16:21, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Inaccurate

This article, to me, seems quite messy and inaccurate. Why should codes of laws be restricted to private law, for once? David.Monniaux 09:16, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What a mess

It looks like as if people working on this article have really jumbled up the definitions of law and code. Law is a system of rules enforced by the state that governs the relationship of people to each other and to the state; a code is a more formal manifestation of those rules. No sensible American attorney would argue that judge-made law (with all its chaos and incoherence) amounts to a legal code (the article currently implies this). It needs to be fixed, but I don't have the time right now. --Coolcaesar 18:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article move

This article seems to be about municipal regulations (building codes, fire codes etc) and not about the concept of "legal code" in general, as referenced at codification and other articles. For example, it talks about "codes being administered by municipalities", which is patently untrue as regard civil and criminal codes, arguably the most important examples of code law. I don't know if this is the North American understanding of "code law" and thus a result of systematic bias, or it is simply due to contributors confusing between different meanings of "code". I have therefore moved it to its new title and redirected legal code to Code (law), which is intended to be an article about code law in general, i.e. codifications, such as civil codes in civil law countries, or the criminal/peanl codes of both civil and common law jurisdictions. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 03:16, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good move. Well done. The words are the same but the meanings differ and what you did cleared it up, I believe. --Achim (talk) 03:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
