Law has been derived from the German word “lag” which means something fixed or unchanged. Different writers have defined law in different ways. Holland defines law as “law is a general rule of external action enforced by a sovereign political authority”. In the same way, Salmon defines law as “the body of principles recognized and applied by state in the administration of justice”. In general terms, we can say that law is general rule of human conduct, taking cognizance of only external actions, recognized and framed by the state and enforced by its coercive authority.
There are several characteristics of law. Some of them are Uniformity, universality, externality, content, formulation, and sanction.
Beside this, to understand the law more deeply, there is three schools of jurisprudence of law. The first school of jurisprudence of las is of “Analytical school or positivist”, the second school is of “historical school”, and the third one is “sociological school of jurisprudence”.
In terms of sources of law, there are six main sources of law. This includes, custom or usage, religion, judicial review, scientific commentaries, equality, and the most recent legislation.
If we talk about kinds of law, then this includes national law, constitutional law, ordinary law, public law, administrative law, general law, private law, substantiative and procedural law, criminal law and procedure, civil law and procedure, and many others.
