There can be only one national law
If every community splinters off into its own separate legal system, the nation is lost
So there’s gotta be a baseline, a law set down by whatever court last represented the whole nation
Beyond that baseline, communities can establish whatever customary practices and policies they want
But the settled law remains the baseline
That’s what we actually *have* to do
And any book that serves as a guide to that settled law would be pretty darn useful, like a textbook or a manual is useful
It would be the work of one person, but would reflect far more than one person’s opinion – or the practices of one community
….you vibin with all this? You’re on you’re way to becoming a neomaimonidean my friend
