Medieval Scandinavian law, also called North Germanic law, was a subset of Germanic law practiced by North Germanic peoples. It was originally memorized and recited by lawspeakers, then committed to writing after the Christianization of Scandinavia, mostly by Christian monks; individual jurisdictions were initially limited to small regions, called logsogur, before later laws came to apply to entire Scandinavian kingdoms, with each jurisdiction governed by an assembly of free men called a thing.

Entity-backed identity for the legal family value this legal-system already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a legal-system entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
