A basic Overview

Law is a set of ideals / rules normally policed through a system of government appointed institutions.

Law affects life and society everyday in many ways.

Contract law controls everything from purchasing a tram pass to selling a huge company.

Property law defines rights and obligations related to selling, purchasing, or leasing realestate property such as houses and commercial buildings.

Trust law applies to assets held for future investment, such as share holdings, and pension funds and so on. Legal law allows claims for repayment when an indivdual or their personal property is affected with damage or stolen.

: Justice will prevail

However if the damage is criminalised in a law code, criminal law offers ways and means to dutifuly prosecute and punish the individual or individuals commiting the act.

Constitutional law extends a framework for administering laws, protecting people’s rights and human rights overall, and by electing political reps, even though administrative law allows ordinary citizens to challenge the way governments exercise power.

International law controls affairs between sovereign nation-states in everything from trade to the environment to military action.

Greek philosopher Aristotle
“The rule of law”, wrote the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle in 350 BC, “is better than the rule of any individual.”
