The law is the body of rules imposed by a State upon its members which is designed to regulate human conduct within that State. The courts interpret these rules of conduct, decide whether they have been broken and pass sentence or make an award of compensation. A certain standard of behaviour is thereby maintained amongst the members of the State in the interest of the common good.
