I guess there is no reason for such a template. There is nothing common to the different "laws in Europe", especially when you include the British islands.

I still think there is absolutely no reason for this template. Do we have templates for "law of an American country" (including North, South and Central America)? Do we have templates fo "law of a country near the Equator"?

• I completely agree. I suggested deleting Category:European law stubs but I was overruled. See here. This template was created as part of the rescoping.

It is simply a part of WP:WSS's work sorting stub articles. If a category becomes very big, it is normal to split it into tinier units, and material is very often simply devided by continent. This segmentation has no deeper meaning than this. A similar example is {{Euro-politician-stub}} which does not mean anything more than that the politician in question comes from a European country, which does not yet have a corresponding stub template.
