An important part here is the "rule of law," which Casey shows is the "law of the land" Did you see that word? The word is "LAW." Most of the time, in court, the law is never brought to view. Rather, it is a code that is brought, but maybe an ordinance. A code is a watering down or condensed form of the law. It can often not show all the detail that is inherent in the law. Bring the law - which is usually much more detailed than the code - not the code. - Code is administrative. Law is of the land, of the people.
