Those are custom and tradition, not laws, unlike the laws which always express an objective reality, they are only the base for purely subjective decisions. Some communities still guide themselves after the custom, e. g. the Gypsies. In these situations their judges are also the rules so speaking, because they are the only profound knowers and interpreters of the custom. The custom is the cause or the explanation of the rules, not the rules themselves which represent what the judges think that should be normative. But these rules die with the judges. There are no laws outside a state.
Romania was ruled by "alien ruling classes" only for a very short period of time in her 146 years of history (she is born in 1862), and she doesn't have a legal system different than in other European countries, there is nothing original here from this point of view.

No, I don't want lawyers to be also the law givers, as it is happening now.

The good physician prevents the ilness, not cure. The lawyers are interested that people appeal to their counsels as frequent as it's possible.

Are you not a lawyer?
