The Essence of Law

Law outlined by the Webster compendium is a 'binding custom or practice of a community'. It is 'a rule of conduct or action prescribed or officially recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority'.

Each land has its own law but the only point of law is to integrate folks and guarantee a cohesive bond among different strata of the society. Breaking law, thus, is synonymous to threatening the integrity of the land.

From the ages of anarchic lands of jungle where nature ruled man's lives to the modern day courts the journey of law, regardless of its land of practice, is as rich and enduring as the journey of the humankind. Just as humankind is still growing, progressing and breaking new bounds, the law that ties the humankind is also evolving steadily. Old rules are challenged ; new laws are born making certain the contentment of the land and the people that live off and on it.

The theorem of law has been discussed for ages from the 1500s among the greats like Francis Bacon, Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu to David Hue to the current day judges and lawyers, law has been disagreed and reargued again so all points of time it is the victory of the humankind, what's good and just and not the victory of an individual. This law may vary from land to land but the basic human sense of justice and truth prevails regardless of geographical limits.

So basically laws of all lands are approximately similar. Law is designated by the blind-folded lady the explanation being law does not see who is in front of it, but practices it similarly for all. Based primarily on the country, the judiciary system of law differs, the structure and the power allotted to the judiciary system also varies in an appropriate way. In states ruled by army power or under some monarchies, regularly the judiciary lies with the ruling power and isn't believed to be an independent body as in numerous democracies. The better part of practicing law is that one can pick up law at any time of their lives. Unlike most professions, where you have to start terribly young, law gives you the power to study and practice law at a later stage in life too.

The practicing counsels sometimes concentrate on one of the classes of law. How one practices law and the way in which the law is defended in a society depends on folks's values of ethics and moral. The more law-abiding the voters are, the better are the possibilities of wealth for that land. However as St Augustine had famously expounded 'An unfair law isn't a law at all', while a law-abiding voter must follow the laws of the land, he / she must also stand against the law that is unfair and unethical.
