Чому у людей існують закони та правові системи? На одному рівні, закони — це тип правил, які регулюють поведінку між людьми. Ці закони є у всіх суспільних організаціях, таких як сім’я чи спортивний клуб.

На другому рівні, закон — це склад правил та норм, які є в конституціях та законодавчій базі. Вони регулюють суспільство та поведінку його членів. Суди та законодавчі органи створюють закони, а поліція гарантує їх правозастосування (enforcement). Судові органи (body of judges) відіграють важливу роль у кожній країні, хоча правові системи відрізняються від держави до держави. Однак єдине, що стосується всього світу, це те, що започаткування судового позову (legal action) є дорогим та займає багато часу.
