Antinomianism

What does Antinomianism mean in American Law?

The definition of Antinomianism in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

A term from theology describing the belief that moral behavior does not involve following a set of detailed rules or laws, but instead is achieved by free expression of some less precise approach, e.g., love (for one’s fellow man). Hence antinomianism is roughly associated with intuitionism (and situation ethics) in ethics, and cadi jurisprudence and equity in law.
