GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English term or phrase: quantity of law
"Organization explains aspects of law as well. The quantity of law varies with the organization of its environment, its direction in relation to differences in organization, and with the organization of law itself"

From the book "The behavior of law". Spanish for Spain.

I have found myself translating the first sentence as "La organización tambien explica aspectos del derecho", and the other as "La cantidad de ley varía con la organización de su entorno"...
I'm not sure if I should be using "cantidad de derecho", or if I should change the first sentence and use "ley" there and at the end.

Many thanks, Anne.

Explanation:
Yo haría un cambio para no repetir. Uniría ambas frases.

"Organization explains aspects of law as well. The quantity of law varies with the organization of its environment, its direction in relation to differences in organization, and with the organization of law itself"/"La organización también explica aspectos relativos a la legislación, cuyo grado de implantación varía con la disposición del entorno de la misma, las directrices con respecto a dicha organización, y el ordenamiento legislativo propiamente dicho.

volumen legislativo


Explanation:
http://www.derechoycambiosocial.com/revista018/crecimiento o...
[...] ha incrementado enormemente el volumen legislativo la cual no es ajena a
estos fenómenos, con la aparición de un proceso de descentralización en
marcha [...]

www.aporrea.org/ideologia/a115451.html
[...] ya se anticipaba una crisis de desproporción entre el volumen
legislativo y la ausencia de participación del pueblo organizado, [...]

http://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/fichero_articulo?codigo=1...
[...] lo comparamos con el volumen legislativo proporcionado por tres
lustros de actividad parlamentaria de las Comunidades Autónomas.

http://www.gara.net/paperezkoa/20090503/135293/es/El-actual-...
Se nos dirá que la maquinaria institucional funciona, que el volumen legislativo adoptado aumenta año tras año, pero nada se dice sobre cómo está funcionando realmente la Unión en términos de gobernanza real.
