Friedrich Carl von Savigny, a German jurist, is renowned for his historical school of law. According to him, law is not a product of an arbitrary legislative action but an organic growth rooted in the customs and beliefs of people. He argued that law develops alongside the culture of a nation and dissolves when the nation ceases to exist.
