Law is a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions. It shapes politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a primary social mediator of relations between people. Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law defines rights and obligations related to the transfer and title of personal (often referred to as chattel) and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security, while tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's rights or property are harmed. If the harm is criminalised in a statute, criminal law offers means by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law is used to review the decisions of government agencies, while international law governs affairs between sovereign nation states in activities ranging from trade to environmental regulation or military action. Writing in 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle declared, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual."

Legal systems elaborate rights and responsibilities in a variety of ways. A general distinction can be made between civil law jurisdictions, which codify their laws, and common law systems, where judge made law is not consolidated. In some countries, religion still informs the law. Law provides a rich source of scholarly inquiry, into legal history, philosophy, economic analysis or sociology. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness and justice. "In its majestic equality", said the author Anatole France in 1894, "the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." In a typical democracy, the central institutions for interpreting and creating law are the three main branches of government, namely an impartial judiciary, a democratic legislature, and an accountable executive. To implement and enforce the law and provide services to the public, a government's bureaucracy, the military and police are vital. While all these organs of the state are creatures created and bound by law, an independent legal profession and a vibrant civil society inform and support their progress.

What law prohibits auto dealers from acceping a lower bid on an advertized sticker price of a car?
Q. A CA auto dealership stated that no negotiation (for a lower price) cold be considered on a used car because of a new 2008 (April) law, which states that an advertized price (newspaper) and sticker price on the car could not be lowered through negotiation. Does anyone know of this new law? If so, where can read about this law that prohibits a lower price offer on an advertized "special" price on a used car?

A. They are lying. That's what dealer do. Some people even say that they are STEALERship. People negotiate sticker prices 100% of the time. And the advertised prices are no different. === Don't get offended but it sounds like you are very gullible (in a nice way). Don't go car shopping by yourself. Take a friend who has some experience and learn by watching this time around. Good Luck...

What law defines what is a hard or soft pull on your credit report?
Q. As everyone knows there are hard and soft pulls on your credit report. Exactly what law defines what constitutes a pull as hard or soft? Is it a law, or just common practice for credit bureaus to determine what classifies each one?
Asked by SaraGirlNY - Fri Aug 28 17:44:32 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The only time someone can do a hard pull is when you have actually applied for credit or asked for a increase in a existing credit card limit. Everything else is a soft pull.
