When should one use "leĝo" and/or "juro"?

For example, "these things are largely determined by current law".

How should "law" be translated here?

Thanks,

William.

P.S.
Please excuse my utter ignorance okulumo.gif.

Leĝo is a law, juro is laws in general - the legal system.

In the case of 'determined by current law', I think super-griek's suggestion sounds OK.

But I think you perhaps might say 'determinataj laŭ la koncerna leĝo/akto', if a single act applies.

For juro Butler also has "Law, jurisprudence" So juro can means "Law" as a subject that is taught, as well as a legal system.

Yes Miland. But NPIV also lists 'jurisprudenco' - juro-scienco, filozofio pri juro.

sudanglo: NPIV also lists 'jurisprudenco' - juro-scienco, filozofio pri juro.
This term may well be helpful at times. On the other hand, I imagine that a proper university course on juro would include the underlying scienco as well.
