Law

Law refers to a system of rules and guidelines, typically enforced through social or governmental institutions, to regulate behavior within a society. It encompasses a wide range of norms and standards that dictate what is permissible and what is considered an offense, thereby maintaining order and protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals. Laws can be enacted by legislatures (statutory law), created by judicial decisions (common law), or established by administrative agencies (regulatory law). They address various aspects of human activity, including criminal justice, contracts, property rights, family matters, and business regulations. The law serves as a mechanism for resolving disputes and promoting social justice, while also providing a framework for governing conduct in both personal and professional contexts.
