- Abstract
- The rule of law is the buzzword of the day. Although no one knows exactly what the concept encompasses, everyone seems to be in favour of it. In its essence, the rule of law entails that no one is above the law. However, the rule of law is anything but an unequivocal concept – there are different conceptions of what constitutes the rule of law, several of which overlap. Basic distinctions can be made between the meaning of this concept in common law vs. civil law legal traditions, which in many aspects mirror the difference between formal or narrower rule of law, and its substantive or broader concept.
