What is Law?
Law is simply defined as a set of rules, guidelines or restrictions a person, community or nation is set to follow. Wikipedia defines law as a set of social rules usually enforced through a set of structured institutions. Which just about brings us back to my original description of what law is. Law was created in order to provide a framework that helps maintain order and justice and a systematized way of living. Law is around us; it affects and governs our daily life in nearly every aspect. Contract Law can be present in an act as simple as buying a train ticket to trading an item in swap meets. Property law governs the rights, rules and regulations to buying, renting or selling real property. Real estate purchases such as land, structures on land, buildings and materials found below or above its surface, anything affixed to the land is governed by property laws. Pension funds or inheritances often are governed by Trust laws hence the term trust fund. The availability of compensation when harm or injury befalls someone or someone’s property falls under Tort laws not to be confused with torte cakes. Criminal law prosecutes and punishes perpetrators of the penal codes. Criminal law is what gives birth to superheroes like Batman, Superman, Captain America, The Justice League and the likes, well at least in Stan Lee’s mind that is. The framework for creating laws that protect human rights, political elections and such create governing structures that fall under Constitutional laws. Constitutional laws are the laws for creating laws. Did that make any sense? Without Constitutional law there will not be any other laws. Administrative law is to administrative agencies, government agencies whose actions include rule making, enforcement and arbitration. Simply put administrative law is the government and their governing powers. Lastly there’s international law that regulates dealings between independent nations. This deals with everything from military action, trade and trading as well as environmental concerns. International law governs every sovereign nation. The Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote that the rule of law is better than the rule of any individual.
