Introduction Today there are literally millions of laws (and millions of lawsuits), there are laws covering virtually every field of human endeavor and the number is growing. This growth is not only numerical, it is substantive. As the law grows, it changes because courts are constantly interpreting laws by applying them to particular circumstances. For this reason law has been characterized as a seamless web. What follows is a general framework for understanding the legal system, followed by basic introductions to selected legal areas. General Introductory information: Massachusetts Laws and Regulations Common law Civil Law Personal Injury Law LawyerViews.com Personal Injury Guide Buying and Selling a Home in Massachusetts Adverse Possession Criminal Law Massachusetts Criminal Lawyers The Common Law The legal system of the United States is based on the common law of England. Even though the colonies revolted against the British empire, they retained its legal institutions. In fact, the colonists revolted precisely because they believed that their common law rights were being taken away. Today English law is still the law of the land in some states. The California civil code (Section 22.2) states that the "common law of England, so far as it is not repugnant to or inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, or Constitution or laws of this state, is the rule of decision in all the courts of this state." The distinguishing features of the common law are that it is based on a system of rights and most of the law is judge-made. Rights are an abstract concept that can be confusing, but the basic idea is straightforward. Rights can be thought of as domains or spheres in which people are free to act without interference. The common law evolved to protect and define this "space." The legal categories that most people are familiar with are common law rights. Property defines the right to possess and own things. Contracts deal with the transfer and exchange of rights. Torts protect rights from accidents and aggression.

Mass. Trial Court Law Libraries Laws, Regulations, Cases Mass. Primary Law The CMR can be difficult to use and understand. Here we summarize some of the more commonly asked questions about Massachusetts regulations. What is the Code of Massachusetts Regulations? The Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) contains regulations promulgated by state agencies pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act (M.G.L. c. 30A) . Rules and regulations form part of the body of administrative law along with administrative orders and decisions. Why do we have regulations and what authority do they have legally? Regulations set forth standards for public health and safety, licensing of professionals, consumer and environmental protection, among others. Regulations have the force and effect of law like statutes. They are created and enforced by executive branch agencies, which are given the rulemaking authority by the legislature. Does the CMR contain rules and regulations from all state agencies? No. A number of state agencies are exempt from the publication requirement of the Administrative Procedures Act (i.e. Division of Personnel Administration, Civil Service Commission, etc.)
