Law is defined as the rules established by a government under which people live, rules that must be obeyed, and statements of what always occurs under certain conditions. [|Law definition]

Law is here because without law the world would be chaos; people would be able to do whatever they wanted and get away with it. We have law to keep people under control. When a person does not follow the law, they are punished. Law can be something simple as following a speed limit to something serious as not killing a person. There are many laws, but they are all there to basically keep the world a safer place for each person. Policemen, lawyers, paralegals, judges, and the government are all people who work with the law. Law comes in many types, but the two main types of law are Criminal Law and Civil Law. Criminal law is a crime, and Civil law is basically everything else. [|Why law?]
