The Rule of Law
Whether or not law has a role to play in
encouraging us to do the right thing, no one
doubts the continuing importance of law in
performing the first three functions set out
above. As a result, there is a widespread
acceptance that the health and wealth of nations
is crucially dependent on how far the rule of law
is maintained and observed in those nations. See
for example, this World Bank website, or this
United Nations website, or this website
maintained by the American Bar Association, or
this essay on the importance of observance of
property rights and the rule of law to a
countrys development. As a result, a lot of
attention is paid to indexes that attempt to
chart how far countries around the world respect
such things as the rule of law and private
property rights. For examples of such indexes,
see World Justice Project and International
Property Rights.

The Functions of Law
In the community, the law is very essential. The
law is advised for any civilization looking for a
way to live in peace and be free of difficulties.
It is frequently designed by society, and it is
up to the members of society to determine whether
or not to follow the laws. There are, however,
consequences if you do not follow it. It serves a
variety of services that are critical to
society's well-being. The following are some of
the functions of the law by Linda Lu Solicitor

Defending us from evil The first and most basic
function of law is to defend us from evil that
is, those who would seek to harm us for no good
reason. This function of law underlies 20th
century developments in International Law such as
the Nuremberg Trials and the creation of the
International Criminal Court.

• Promoting the common good Law is not just
  concerned with bringing evil people to account
  for their actions. A community made up of people
  who bear no ill-will to anyone else and are
  simply concerned to pursue their own
  self-interest needs law because there are
  situations where if everyone pursues their own
  self-interest, everyone will be worse off than
  they would have been if they acted differently.
  So a community of self-interested actors needs
  law
• To solve Prisoners dilemma situations
• To distribute into private hands property that
  would otherwise be exploited by everyone, thereby
  avoiding a tragedy of the commons situation
  arising
• To prevent people acting on their natural desire
  to extract an eye for an eye in revenge for
  actual or perceived wrongs that they have
  suffered at other peoples hands.

Resolving disputes over limited resources As
every family knows, in any community there will
always be disputes over who should have what of a
limited number of resources. Law is needed to
resolve these disputes, as exemplified by the
famous story of the Judgment of Solomon.

Encouraging people to do the right thing It was
thought even from classical times that law
performed a fourth function that of encouraging
and helping people to do the right thing. For
example, Aristotle (384 BC 322 BC) argued that
people needed the discipline of law to habituate
them into doing the right thing, from which
standpoint they could then appreciate why doing
the right thing was the right thing to do.
