Subjective laws refer to rules or principles that are based on personal feelings, opinions, or beliefs. Objective laws, on the other hand, are rules or principles that are based on outside observations or facts, independent of personal viewpoints.
My guess is that this comes from a translation from a language such as German, Czech, Slovak or perhaps other languages, where an analogous term is used. The definition is approximately as follows: Subjective law (or rather right) is a specific possibility of a subject to behave in certain way envisaged by the law (i.e., by the "objective law"), to require certain behaviour from other entities, to exercise certain entitlements and to require from state authorities to enforce certain behaviour from an obliged entity. (Approximate modified translation from Slovak Wikipedia.) So it is quite apparent that "subjective law" is a calque and I would propose a clearer English equivalent: entitlement (although some claim this is not quite synonymous). If anyone has a better idea, please, contribute! Milan P.S. There is another explanation - in the languages mentioned, "law" and "right" translate into the same word. And to distinguish between them, they use adjectives "objective" for "law" and "subjective" for "right". So "subjective law" could then simply be a "right".
Justice can be subjective as it can be influenced by an individual's personal beliefs, values, and experiences. However, there are also objective principles of justice that are universally accepted in society. Different cultures and societies may have varying views on what constitutes justice, leading to subjectivity in its interpretation.
Moral validity refers to actions that align with ethical principles or personal beliefs, whereas legal validity pertains to actions that comply with the laws and regulations of a specific jurisdiction. Moral validity is subjective and based on individual values, while legal validity is objective and established by a governing authority.
Ethical norms refer to principles or standards of behavior that are considered morally right, whereas laws are rules and regulations established by a government that must be followed and enforced. While ethical norms are based on personal values and principles, laws are legally binding and can carry penalties if not followed. Ethical norms are more subjective and can vary among different cultures or individuals, while laws are more objective and universally applicable within a specific legal jurisdiction.
Unwritten laws can lead to confusion and inconsistency in their interpretation and enforcement, as they rely on subjective understandings. This can result in unequal treatment and injustice for individuals. Additionally, unwritten laws may lack accountability and transparency, making it difficult for people to understand their rights and responsibilities.
