Law is a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions. It shapes politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a primary social mediator of relations between people. Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law defines rights and obligations related to the transfer and title of personal (often referred to as chattel) and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security, while tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's rights or property are harmed. If the harm is criminalised in a statute, criminal law offers means by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law is used to review the decisions of government agencies, while international law governs affairs between sovereign nation states in activities ranging from trade to environmental regulation or military action. Writing in 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle declared, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual."

Legal systems elaborate rights and responsibilities in a variety of ways. A general distinction can be made between civil law jurisdictions, which codify their laws, and common law systems, where judge made law is not consolidated. In some countries, religion still informs the law. Law provides a rich source of scholarly inquiry, into legal history, philosophy, economic analysis or sociology. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness and justice. "In its majestic equality", said the author Anatole France in 1894, "the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." In a typical democracy, the central institutions for interpreting and creating law are the three main branches of government, namely an impartial judiciary, a democratic legislature, and an accountable executive. To implement and enforce the law and provide services to the public, a government's bureaucracy, the military and police are vital. While all these organs of the state are creatures created and bound by law, an independent legal profession and a vibrant civil society inform and support their progress.

Is family law the most stressful and frustrating practice are for lawyers?
Q. I am a new attorney who has been practicing about six months now. I do primarily family law cases, and it seems like whatever I get for my clients they're still not happy. They expect me to get them every single things they want no matter how unreasonable. Any other family law attorneys experienced this? My clients don't pay me. I work for legal aid.
Asked by robhay - Fri Sep 19 14:23:47 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I practice family law. Family law is a thankless job. Emotions are higher in family law than in any other type of law. People's families are being ripped apart, they aren't going to be able to see their children every day, their standard of living is going down, etc. All of these things make family law clients crazy. Seriously. They are angry, scared, and confused, and because of this they often have a hard time thinking straight. They also have very unreasonable expectations. Stay at home moms want to be able to continue staying at home (ha! Not going to happen!) A woman who has been married for a whopping two years wants alimony. A dad who travels all of the time for work and isn't an involved dad wants 50/50 physical… [cont.]

What is the law about when to charge for an item and shipping?
Q. I need to know if there is a law on the books about when a retailer/online retailer can charge for an item before it is shipped. Most retailers will only charge once the item is shipped, but I ordered from a company and they charged me that same day but the item still has not shipped more than 2 weeks later. I need to know the law on this matter so that I can complain with the proper knowledge.

A. I don't know as though there would be a law on this. The retailer has the option to charge what they want, regardless. Check their website and look for the fine print in terms of shipping. It should tell you what is being charged to your card at the time of ordering, and what is being charged, if anything else at the time of shipping.

What happens when the Fed creates a law that interferes with a State law?
Q. What happens when the federal government creates a law that interferes with a state law? Does the state have to change their laws?
Asked by Switch it up - Sat Jun 13 13:39:27 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Per the Supremacy Clause, the federal law preempts the state law unless it is found to violate the 10th Amendment. In order to violate the 10th Amendment the feds have to have created a law that violates the states' ability to make and create their own laws traditionally left to the states. "Traditional" laws are laws usually related to family law, criminal law, etc. But some criminal laws such as the Controlled Substance Act, can be regulated by the feds, because drugs are a commodity and can easily be transported between states. Therfore, the feds can regulate drug laws to some extent because of the Commerce Clause.

Law is an umbrella term for the written or understood rules that concern behaviors within and between societies and the appropriate consequences thereof.

  • The one great principle of the English law is, to make business for itself.
  • The rule of law can be wiped out in one misguided, however will-intentioned generation. And if that should happen, it could take a century of striving and ordeal to restore it, and then only at the cost of the lives of many good men and women.
  • The law is a sort of hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket; and the glorious uncertainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it.
