  Statutory law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While these enactments are subordinate to the law of the whole state or nation, they are nonetheless a part of the body of a jurisdiction's statutory law.
Private legislation that may originate as a private bill is a lesser known aspect of statutory law.
In some U.S. states, the entire body of statutory law is referred to as a "code," such as the Ohio Revised Code.

 CNN.com - The pros and cons of statutory rape laws - Feb. 13, 2004
Statutory rape is sex between an adult and a minor, while aggravated child molestation also involves an injury.
Because every state has a statutory rape law in some form, this case presents a challenge to a long and continuing tradition of criminal laws that confine men for what could be consensual sex with minors who are close to the age of majority.
Though a statutory rape charge would not require proof of force or coercion, feminists observed, young girls were (and may continue to be) especially vulnerable to being raped by the adults in their lives.

 39-13-506. Statutory rape.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Since the offense of statutory rape includes an age element whereas the offense of rape does not, and the offense of rape includes the element of force whereas the offense of statutory rape does not, statutory rape was not a lesser included offense in a prosecution for rape by force or coercion.
Statutory rape is not a lesser included offense of rape of a child, nor is it a lesser grade offense of rape of a child.
Evidence was sufficient to sustain defendant's statutory rape and sexual battery convictions where, although the victim was an accomplice, the victim's testimony regarding the offenses was sufficiently corroborated; evidence was sufficient to prove the defendant, the victim's principle, performed oral sex on the victim and when confronted did not deny the allegations.

 Department for Constitutional Affairs - Consultation Papers - Statutory Appeals and Statutory Review
Statutory appeals - a term used to cover rehearings, appeals on a point of law and case stated appeals (where the decision-making body sets out the issues at stake and reasons for its decision in a document for the consideration of the appeal court).
For those statutory appeals where no permission stage exists it is proposed to introduce a permission stage to weed out cases that have no prospect of success.
The position therefore remains that the majority of statutory appeal provisions (and all but one or two statutory review provisions) are not subject to a requirement to obtain permission.

 Handbook for Statutory Rape Issues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Modern statutory rape laws usually reflect multilevel statutory schemes with different penalties set forth depending upon the age of the minor.
Rather than redefining child abuse in the law, a "memorandum of understanding" an informal agreement among law enforcement, State agencies, and schools was adopted stating that statutory rape cases are considered child abuse, and the child abuse reporting mechanisms are to be used to their fullest extent to report it.
Some States are not actually focusing on revising their statutory rape laws, but rather are channeling funds into creating special prosecution units or are including these crimes in their child sex assault units.

 Mediation & Arbitration of Statutory Employment Disputes
The existing cadre of labor and employment mediators and arbitrators, some lawyers, some not, although skilled in conducting hearings and familiar with the employment milieu is unlikely, without special training, to consistently possess knowledge of the statutory environment in which these disputes arise and of the characteristics of the non-union workplace.
There is a manifest need for mediators and arbitrators with expertise in statutory requirements in the employment field who may, without special training, lack experience in the employment area and in the conduct of arbitration hearings and mediation sessions.
Training in the statutory issues should be provided by the government agencies, bar associations, academic institutions, etc., administered perhaps by the designating agency, such as the AAA, at various locations throughout the country.

 Statutory Construction Zone
Statutory construction involves elements of several interesting subjects--linguistics, hermeneutics, political science, history, constitutional law, and rational decisionmaking theory--in a way that few areas of the law do.
My hope is that someone who wants to keep up with current federal statutory-construction case law (which statutes and regulations are being construed, which rules or arguments judges are accepting or using in construing them, etc.) would be able to do so by checking this web site for 5-10 minutes every week or two.
"Statutory Construction" vs. "Statutory Interpretation": For purposes of this weblog, it is presumed that "statutory construction" and "statutory interpretation" are interchangeable terms.

Your questions stem from a statement on statutory liens that you state recently appeared in a NAFCU publication.

 Judicial Conference Urges Congress to Consider Statutory
A representative of the Judicial Conference of the United States today urged the House Subcommittee on the Constitution to pursue a statutory approach to a crime victim' rights initiative as opposed to a constitutional amendment.
Judge Sullivan told the subcommittee that a statutory approach would also diminish or eliminate federal court involvement in the operations of the state criminal justice systems under a victims' rights constitutional amendment.
Finally, unlike a constitutional amendment that could take years to ratify, a statutory approach is more certain and immediate, an advantage to victims.

 Licensing and Royalties - Voluntary vs. Statutory Licensing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Under copyright law creators of artistic works are guaranteed the exclusive right to: 1) reproduce the work, 2) distribute copies, 3) perform the work publicly, 4) create a derivative work, and 5) display the work publicly.
These are called statutory (or compulsory) licenses and generally the fee is paid according to a rate set by law, called a "statutory rate." Statutory licenses are efficient because they do not require the person or entity using the recording to obtain separate licenses from each sound recording copyright owner.
The most common type of use covered by these statutory licenses is for non-interactive webcasting or Internet radio.
