There was never anything called "socialist law": I can find one article by one person on SSRN from 2007 which talks about the concept. But clearly, that's wrong: it wasn't because the countries were "socialist" that the law was distinctive, it was because the countries were undemocratic that gave them made the system procedurally despotic. This page itself cites no articles or books at all. There is nothing definitive about a law in "socialist countries" as a group- Soviet law was however recognised as a distinct field, because it was the law of the USSR. There was nothing particularly common about that and Chinese law. I think this article should be blanked and the material dispersed to other articles. Wikidea 16:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to say this page was very helpful. I'm in a community college law class and had a question about "Socialist Law" and this was the only thing I could find about it. 50.181.178.179 (talk) 05:22, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
I agree whole-heartedly with Wikidea, but I think there should be an article about socialist theories have affected laws in countries all over the world...My apologies if I have broken any Wikipedia editing rules or talk page norms: I am a complete newcomer. --4and3and2and1 (talk) 23:12, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Socialism encompasses a broad range of beliefs and this article deals almost exclusively with Marxist-Leninist Law, I propose renaming the title to "Soviet Law," give your thoughts. Vallee01 (talk) 04:41, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
In The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the dark curtain of the Soviet legal system is meticulously unveiled, if such a theater can be called "law." Through its pages, Solzhenitsyn denounces the charade of trials in which the verdict was predetermined, mocking the genuine principle of justice. These "mock trials", far from ensuring a fair process, were mere instruments of oppression and political control. Enriching this article with insights from The Gulag Archipelago is vital, as it provides a profound and harrowing perspective on the dangers of a corrupted legal system.
