01 The Fundamental Truths of Law

Introduction

Welcome to Session 1: The Fundamental Truths of Law

Welcome to the first session of The Law Explained series. Tonight, we begin with a crucial topic: “The Fundamental Truths of Law.”

Before we can navigate the complexities of legal systems, we need to establish a clear foundation:

  • What is the law?
  • What is not the law?
  • Which principles and key maxims have stood the test of time?
  • Why is there such a disconnect between the true essence of law and what is taught in textbooks, dictionaries, and legal colleges?
  • What role do legal fraternities and guilds play in shaping (or distorting) our understanding of the law?

This session will challenge the cognitive dissonance between officially accepted legal doctrine and the so-called “secret knowledge” held by select practitioners. By the end, you’ll have a stronger grasp of the real foundations of law—not just what is claimed, but what truly holds power in practice. Slides below.

Part 1: The Fundamental Truths of Law

In this first part of the series, we will break down the core truths of law—the foundational principles that have remained unchanged despite centuries of legal evolution.

We will explore:

  • The true definition of law and how it differs from legal interpretations taught in institutions.
  • Key legal maxims that have stood the test of time and why they matter.
  • The difference between law and legal fiction—what is real, what is assumed, and how this affects legal proceedings.
  • The hidden influence of legal fraternities and guilds, and how they shape (or obscure) access to legal knowledge.

By understanding these fundamental truths, you will begin to see the law as it is meant to be, rather than as it is often presented. Let’s begin.

Part 2: The History of Law

To truly understand the law, we must first understand its origins. Where did legal principles come from? How have they evolved? And why do modern legal systems operate the way they do today?

In this section, we will explore:

  • The earliest legal systems—from Sumerian, Babylonian, and Egyptian laws to the codes of Ancient Greece and Rome.
  • The rise of Western-Roman legal traditions, including the influence of canon law, feudal law, and the development of common law.
  • The role of monarchies, empires, and religious institutions in shaping legal doctrines.
  • The shift from natural law to statutory law—how legal systems moved from moral and universal principles to codified rules and legislation.
  • The continuing impact of historic legal traditions on modern courts, contracts, and governance.

By tracing the roots of law, we can better understand why the legal system functions as it does today—and how historical shifts continue to influence rights, responsibilities, and legal remedies in the modern world.
