Law is
commonly understood as a system of rules that are created and enforced through
social or governmental institutions to regulate behavior, although its
precise definition is a matter of longstanding debate. It has been variously
described as a science and the art of justice. State-enforced
laws can be made by a collective legislature or by a single
legislator, resulting in statutes, by the executive through decrees and regulations,
or established by judges through precedent, normally in common law jurisdictions.
Private individuals can create legally binding contracts, including
arbitration agreements that may elect to accept alternative arbitration to the
normal court process. The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by
a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded
therein. The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in
various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
