As I stated in this section's introduction page, the genus Canis itself is a rather recent development. Some species of this genus, such as the modern grey wolf, have only come about in the past one million years. Other canids, such as foxes, are older by comparison. The grey fox, Urocyon cinereogenteus is widely considered to be the most primitive canid alive today.
Court order. A court order is an official proclamation by a judge (or panel of judges) that defines the legal relationships between the parties to a hearing, a trial, an appeal or other court proceedings. Such ruling requires or authorizes the carrying out of certain steps by one or more parties to a case.
Common law (also known as case law or precedent) is law developed by judges, courts, and similar tribunals, stated in decisions that nominally decide individual cases but that in addition have precedential effect on future cases. common law system is a legal system that gives great precedential weight to common law, so that consistent principles applied to similar facts yield similar outcomes. The body of past common law binds judges that make future decisions, just as any other law does, to ensure consistent treatment.
