• Statutes are the laws established by the legislature and can be found at most law libraries and some public libraries. • Rules are the regulations adopted by an agency and in North Carolina can be found in the North Carolina Administrative Code. The Code can be found on our web page by clicking here and in some law libraries and some public libraries. • Legal precedent is a decision(s) of a court which is close in facts or legal principles to your case. Court decisions are published in reporters which can be found in law libraries and with some online services.
