A Comprehensive Guide to Introduction to Law

Every society is governed by law. Without law, a society will be anarchical in nature. That is, there will be disorder in the society. Law usually varies from one country to another or society to another expressed in Latin as Ibi Societas, Ubi Jus.Generally speaking, law refers to a body of rules and regulations that governs the behaviour of citizens in a particular society. Usually, the non-application of law is the application of sanctions which can either be civil or criminal. The civil sanctions are governed by the Civil Code and usually entail the payment of damages. The criminal sanctions on the other hand are punitive in nature and can principal in nature (death sentence, loss of liberty and fines), accessory and preventive in nature.
