#What is law?

| Cases for this topic, here |

Explaining the terms “Law” and “Morality” or Justice .

When discussing law and morality or law and justice, it is important to define the terms, from the below you will probably decide it is not possible to define what law IS, but it is possible to describe what it does and what rules apply. This is essentially a philosophical question, which probably has no answer, but some theorists have attempted to do so.

Similarly, there is no agreement what morality IS, or justice IS and there are various “schools” of thought.

We shall be looking at the writings and thoughts of philosophers and jurists (legal scholars) each named person should be considered as an authority in his field whose opinions are worthy of respect.

What is “Law”?

It is possible to describe law as the body of official rules and regulations, generally found in constitutions, legislation, judicial opinions, and the like, that is used to govern a society and to control the behaviour of its members, so Law is a formal mechanism of social control.

Legal systems are particular ways of establishing and maintaining social order.
