Law is a rule of conduct commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong. Law has also been defined as the body of principles and rules which the courts apply in the decision of controversies Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said: "Law is a statement of the circumstances in which the public force will be brought to bear through courts" Law is simply what the courts will or will not order in any particular case. Law is a scheme for controlling the conduct of people; it deals with social interests.

The essence of law, its origin cannot be understood if law is considered in isolation from economic and social conditions. It is society through the state that creates law, but law in its turn exercises influence on the socio-economic system. Law is certain to operate as an important factor in consolidating the existing social relations and in some cases in promoting the establishment of new relations whenever the necessary material conditions come into being. The more complex the economic mechanism of a society organized as a state, the stronger is the influence it exerts in many concrete directions.

In a developed state the sphere in which the law operates proves to be quite extensive. It embraces all the spheres of production, distribution and exchange. Law fixes the forms of administration and the constitutional system, determines the legal status of citizens and the activity of the state mechanism (state law, administrative law). It fixes the existing property relations and operates as a regulator of the measure and forms of distribution of labour and its products among the members of society (civil law, labour law). Finally, the law lays down the measures for combating encroachment on the state system, the existing order of social relations, together with the forms in which this is done (criminal law, procedural law, corrective labour law).
