Theory of Living Law
The living law as discussed by Ehrlich is the law that is practices in the society as opposed to the law enforced by the state. Living law is the law which dominates the life of the society even though it has not been put forward in legal prepositions.
Ehrlich was concerned with the impact of laws on various aspects of the society. According to him the laws to be found in formal legal sources such as statutes and decided cases give only an inadequate picture of what really goes in a community.
