Simply put:
A hypothesis is a what if proposal, basically a WAG, waiting for feedback and refinement.
A theory is a proposal that says I am pretty sure this is how it works and is waiting for proof one way or the other.
A law is a theory that has been "proven" and is accepted by the scientific community as fact. I dont like the word law because "laws" are proven wrong all the time as our knowledge increases.

A hypothesis and a theory are both terms referring to a set of assumptions on which you are basing your research; a 'model' of how you think things are. The term 'hypothesis' is usually used to refer to a specific aspect of a problem, whereas the word 'theory' usually refers to a wider set of beliefs. A Law is a relationship between physical parameters that has been shown always to be true, at least under certain conditions.

Hypothesis - is the likely conclusion which is yet to be proved. It is pronounced based on experience or based on a preliminary study.
All hypotheses are subject to detailed research or experiments and have to proved or concluded.
Theory - is the standardised form of proved conclusions or the observations. In science or maths or economics, the theories well tested and finally pronounced.
Law - is the rule that is enacted and is enforced on a society.
In science or maths or in economics, a law is the indisputable theory, which has been experimeted and proved by many experts over a period and has come to be accepted as a general rule or law.

here's what i remember..
hypothesis is an educated guess about the outcome of a certain experiment.
theory is what we get from conducting a certain experiment.
law is established when you conduct an experiment which is proven correct time and again.
