AnagramsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Law is a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions. Laws can shape or reflect 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 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

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.

Q. I definatly do not have the money or lsat score to get into many of the better law programs in the country. But several 3rd and 4th tier law schools have good reputations when it comes to sport and entertainment law. Is it more important to just find a way to get into a law school to learn about contracts, negotions, etc. if you are planning on being an agent. Asked by Brad H - Thu Nov 12 00:16:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am an attorney (currently inactive due to other pursuits). The important and difficult part of being a sports agent is obtaining clients. If you do not have connections in the athletic world, the easiest way to start is with a large entertainment and athletics law firm which requires graduation from a "top" law school. In addition, law school teaches the principles of contract law. Negotiation skills are learned on the job. Again being in a large law firm which gives this training is the easiest way to go. On the other hand, a talented person with connections could develop this sort of practice with a degree from any law school. This very glamourous and competitive area of law is one of the hardest in which to succeed.
