In this presentation, we will discuss the reasons for law, the purpose of law, the objectives of law. 

At the end of this we will be able to:
•    List components and objectives of the law 
•    Describe the US Constitution 
•    Describe statutory law in the legal system and 
•    Explain common law

One of the main purposes of the law is to have a justice system so that there is some harmony within the social system. The law will help us to create harmony within the social system through having some justice administered through the law and people being able to perceive that both the procedure and the consequences of the law are fair and applied universally. You would think this concept of law would be fairly straightforward at first glance, to look at the law and say well we want to put laws in place that are going to be fair to everybody and that are going to be just and therefore people will be able to adhere to the law and be able to agree with the law, but in practice the process becomes more difficult than we would think at first look. 

One problem it is that we have to communicate law in words, in language, in order for people to be able to understand what is acceptable or not acceptable within the law and words themselves are not perfect so many of the problems with law that we talk about in terms of the making of the law, as well as the administering of the law, and interpreting the law, comes down to problems of language and that's why the legal system, and lawyers themselves, are very good with words, with making things language very definite.  

The law can also be intentionally vague in some cases when the creators want to achieve different types of objectives. The fact that language is not a perfect form of expression leads to debates about the law and how to interpret it. for example, there is debate about whether the interpretation of the law should be applied using letter of the law, simply making sure that they're applying exactly what the law says and depending mostly on wording of the law and or prior precedents that have that have happened in order to make final decisions, or does the judge have more leeway and an obligation to have the idea of the law, the content of the law, or what they believe the spirit of the law is in order to make judgments on a particular case. 

This kind of issue of how to interpret the law is going to be a type of thing that's very contentious because it really blurs the line between when we talk about the separation of duties between the judicial system and the legislative, the creators of the law and the people that are judging the law. That line between legislative and judicial gets very blurred when we start to lean too much to the type of toward the spirit of the law side of the spectrum because it becomes very easy for the legislative branch to then interpret the law in different ways and possibly in ways that are almost equivalent to making new laws. 

In other words if the judicial branch can interpret very broadly the language of the laws and how to apply the language of the laws and even to possibly go against the language of the law in order to uphold the spirit of the law, then that's going to give a lot more leeway in making legal decision and it of blurs the line between the makers of the law and the interpretation of the law. 

On the other hand, if we just go by the letter of the law, then we can see that there's going to be a lot of cases when law is created in such a way that where the law makers cannot see all the possible cases in
