Law is a set of rules or norms of conduct which forbid, permit or mandate specified actions and relationships among people and organizations. The authority upon which legal rules rest and the extent to which they are formally codified varies between jurisdictions but all legal systems are united in their attempt to ensure impartial treatment of those suspected of breaking the rules and to bring about justice. The word law derives from the late Old English lagu of probable North Germanic origin.

Law is typically administered through a system of courts in which judges (sometimes with the aid of a jury or lay magistrate) hear disputes between parties, and apply a set of rules in order to provide an outcome that is just and fair. The substantive and procedural laws, and the manner in which laws are administered, are collectively known as a legal system, which typically has developed through tradition in each country.

Most countries rely upon the police to enforce the law. Police officers most often, must be professionally trained in law enforcement before they are permitted to act under the color of law, to issue legal warnings and citations, execute search or other legal warrants and to make arrests.

Legal practitioners, most often, must be professionally trained in the law before they are permitted to advocate for a party in a court of law, draft legal documents, or give legal advice.

There is mans law and there is Gods law. There is the law of nature and laws of physics.

Law is everywhere. Without it we would not be human. To me mans law is to have order. Gods law is to teach us we need mans law. To break even the most simple of any laws one will have to pay a price. Weather a traffic fine, or have our conscious haunt us for breaking a moral law.

Americas law s has to be created through congress approval of bills. Politics.

This is a very vague question.
