Article 52 - Lor (Public Lawful)
Canon 5763 (link)
The word and concept of Lor is the direct source of the modern word “law” and the concept of “common law” whereby the people are deemed to have certain rights. However, even with these rights, the very design of the three (3) layer - law system means one who is subject to the “lor” can never have greater rights than one who is subject to “lex”.
