All law is social. Law is a system of rules designed to regulate the way society works, and to protect the rights of the individual. We have certain freedoms but these are limited by the need to protect the freedoms and rights of other members of society.

If you want to go into this in more depth, you may want to look into the subject of jurisprudence, which is all about how and why law is made, but especially the moral motivation behind it.

Social justice refers to conceptions of justice applied to an entire society. That is to say, it refers to the idea of a just society, which gives individuals and groups fair treatment and a just share of the benefits of society.

Social justice is both a philosophical issue and an important issue in politics. It can arguably be said that everyone wishes to live in a just society, but different political ideologies have different conceptions of what a just society actually is. The term "social justice" itself tends to be used by those ideologies who believe that present day society is highly unjust - and these are usually left-wing ideologies. The right-wing also has its own conceptions of social justice, but generally believes that present day society is already just.

Social justice is also a concept that ordinary people use to describe the movement towards a socially just world. In this context, social justice is based on the idea of human rights and equality. So a very broad definition of social justice is "social justice reflects the way in which human rights are manifested in the everyday lives of people at every level of society". [1]. It can be further defined as working towards the realisation of a world where all members of a society, regardless of background have basic human rights and equal access to their community's wealth and resources.
