Dead letter law refers to statutes or regulations that are still officially part of the legal code but are no longer enforced or have become obsolete due to changing circumstances, societal norms, or judicial decisions. These laws may remain on the books because they have not been repealed, even though they have little to no practical application. As a result, they can create confusion or be invoked in unusual legal cases, but they generally do not impact everyday legal practice.
