What Individual Law Is (1)--Individual law is law that, having arisen from common law because of the benefit, (2) necessity, (3) or other circumstances of some particular state, is enacted by a magistrate. Or, it is law that, by the addition or subtraction of common law, a magistrate legally enacts and commands for the citizens of some particular location concerning future activities for the apparent benefit of the state (1.1. 1.2 de constit.
