What are sources of law?

The sources of law are the various points of origin from which the legal norms that regulate our society emanate to ensure the proper and fair functioning of our community.

There are several sources of law in Spain, and each one plays an important role in our legal system:

• Law
• Custom
• General principles of law

However, there are other sources that are also relevant in the Spanish legal system, such as case law and legal doctrine.
