The legal family built around state ownership of the means of production and law as an instrument of the state and party rather than a check on it, one of the four classical families comparative law scholarship (Rene David) names alongside civil, common and religious/traditional law. Belongs here: Socialist Law as the general field and its own historical account. Does not belong here: a present-day system descended from a formerly socialist state, if this atlas later mints one; such a system would be classified by what it has become, not by this tradition's historical name.
