The Institution of the Law
Law is the set of rules or norms of conduct which forbid, permit or mandate specified actions, govern official resolution of conflict, and define relationships among people and organizations. The authority upon which legal rules rest and the extent to which they are formally codified varies between jurisdictions but all modern legal systems are united in their attempt to assure impartial treatment of those suspected of breaking the rules and to bring about justice.
