From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Law is a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions. It shapes politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a primary social mediator of relations between people. Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law defines rights and obligations related to the transfer and title of personal (often referred to as chattel) and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security, while tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's rights or property are harmed. If the harm is criminalised in a statute, criminal law offers means by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law is used to review the decisions of government agencies, while international law governs affairs between sovereign nation states in activities ranging from trade to environmental regulation or military action. Writing in 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle declared, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual." Legal systems elaborate rights and responsibilities in a variety of ways. A general distinction can be made between civil law jurisdictions, which codify their laws, and common law systems, where judge made law is not consolidated. In some countries, religion still informs the law. Law provides a rich source of scholarly inquiry, into legal history, philosophy, economic analysis or sociology. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness and justice. "In its majestic equality", said the author Anatole France in 1894, "the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." In a typical democracy, the central institutions for interpreting and creating law are the three main branches of government, namely an impartial judiciary, a democratic legislature, and an accountable executive. To implement and enforce the law and provide services to the public, a government's bureaucracy, the military and police are vital. While all these organs of the state are creatures created and bound by law, an independent legal profession and a vibrant civil society inform and support their progress. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What if a state law is against a federal law? Q. Which one is applied if there is any state law which is against a federal law? Or is there any law to prevent such a case? Asked by thecheapest902 - Wed Sep 5 12:11:10 2007 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. Federal law supersedes local or state law when they are in conflict. However, a state or local law can be made that goes further than federal law. For example, a federal laws on firearms ownership (can't be a felon, can't be convicted of a domestic violence charge, cannot be mentally incapacitated, etc). A state can go even further and require a permit and set the requirements. What the state can't do is say that anyone can own a gun, including someone mentally incapacitated because it would violate federal law. In California, the state allows medical marijuana, but it is still illegal on the federal level, however, The US Attorney has chosen not to enforce the law at this time.

I've seen people retire after 17 years due to things like PRT failures and they always say it's a law that you can't get kicked out unless you do something illegal once you hit 17. It makes sense to me because if the military could get away with it they would kick everyone out after 19 and 364 days to save money. Can someone please give me the law or instruction number? I can't find it anywhere. Asked by william k - Sat Jul 26 16:56:55 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can also be discharged from the military based on HYT (high year of tenure). For example: You are in the AF, an E-4 with 11 years. If you do not have a line number for E-5, you will be out of a job as soon as you hit 12 years. Each service has their own HYT system, so the numbers will vary. But, you don't retire. You are just out. Most do have a HYT step at 20 years, so no one gets caught w/o retirement. Also, you can be discharged for refusing an assignment. You're at 19 years. You get a 3 year tour to Germany. You turn it down, you're out of a job. You're 9 months of 20 and you get orders for a remote to Korea. You turn it down, you're out. No retirement! And I've seen people do it!! Sorry, I don't know the reg on… [cont.] Answered by usafbrat64 - Sat Jul 26 17:23:04 2008 What is the law that says that bill collectors cannot call you work?
Q. I have a bill/collection agency who started to call my employment and I know its against the law. I want to be able to tell this person the exact law and quote from it so they can stop calling my job. Asked by kingnappa - Wed Oct 18 11:55:18 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I used to work collections, the laws may have changed. We could call at work, within reason, until the debtor asks us not too. IF that is the ONLY viable number we had for that debtor we were allowed ONE phone call after the request, to tell the debtor what the next step would be and then no more calls to work. If we had no other numbers all following communications would be in writing. And the standards we used are called: the fair debt collection practices act. You can 'google' that for more extensive info. Answered by Skullchick - Wed Oct 18 12:06:15 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Law"
