SUPERNAL LAW VS. COMMON LAW
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/supernal
COMMON LAW IS LAW BASED ON LOCAL CUSTOM AND USAGE, SKEWED IN FAVOR OF THEN-SOVEREIGNTY, FROM ENGLAND, ROME, GREECE, WHICH YET PREVAILS IN AMERICAN COURTS.
IN THIS INTERNET AGE OF MASS COMMUNICATIONS, MANY "COMMON LAW" OUTCOMES ARE CRITIQUED, COMPARED, CROSS-EXAMINED GLOBALLY FOR THEIR RIGOR, JUSTICE, EQUITY OR CONSISTENCY. IN EFFECT A FORM OF 'SUPERNAL LAW,' LAW BASED ON DIVINE JUSTICE, EMERGES FROM THESE ONLINE EXAMINATIONS, WITH INTERNATIONAL, NOT LOCAL, DIMENSIONS, RAMIFICATIONS:ABSENT CROSS BARRIERS AND DIVISIONS OF CIVIL - CRIMINAL; COMMERCIAL-ECCLESIASTIC.
THIS IS SUPERNAL INTERNET ACCRETION TO RENDITION OF GLOBAL JUSTICE, AND I WOULD URGE ITS PRUDENT STUDY AND ADOPTION AS AN INTERNATIONAL MATRIX OF JUSTICE.
