WHAT IS LAW - FOR BEGINNERS?The exact meaning of law is up for debate, but it is generally
understood to be a set of regulations that are made and enforced
by social or governmental institutions to control behavior. It has
been called both a science and the practice of justice in diverse
contexts. Statutes can be created by a group of legislators or a
single lawmaker; the administration can issue decrees and
regulations; or judges can set precedent, mainly in common law
jurisdictions. Private individuals have the power to enact legally
binding agreements, such as arbitration clauses that substitute
alternative dispute resolution procedures for traditional court
action. A constitution, whether written or implied, and the rights
enshrined within may have an impact on the laws as they are
being made.
