Savigny, a prominent German jurist through his concept of Volksgeist introduced a new dimension in the legal arena and explains the need to understand the interrelationship between law and people. Law and people cannot be isolated from each other.
Savigny observed that the nature of any particular system of law, was the reflection of the “spirit of the people who evolved it.
Savigny remarked that law has a national character and it is found and developsed and not made, like language and binds people into one whole because of their common faiths, beliefs and convictions.
Savigny stated that in the earliest stages, law develops spontaneously according to the internal needs of the community but after the community reaches a certain level or civilisation, the different kinds of national activities, hitherto developing as a whole, bifurcate in different branches to be taken up for further study by specialists such as jurists, linguists, anthropologists, scientists etc.
Savigny considered law as a continuous and unbreakable process bound by common cultural traditions and beliefs.
