Definition of local custom
Definition: A practice that has become a law due to its common adoption and long, unvarying habit in a specific locality, such as a city or county.
Examples: In some small towns, it is a local custom to have a parade on the Fourth of July. In other places, it may be a local custom to have a certain type of food or drink during a particular festival.
Explanation: These examples illustrate how a local custom can become a tradition in a specific area and be followed by the people living there. Over time, these customs can become so ingrained in the community that they are considered a law or a rule that must be followed.

Simple Definition
Local custom refers to a practice that has become like a law because everyone in a certain place has been doing it for a long time. It only applies to that specific area and is not a general rule for the whole country. It can be a source of law for that place and is different from customary law, which is a set of practices and beliefs that are treated like laws for a whole society.
Justice is truth in action.
