Question

Define Law according to DuPlessis and O’Byrne and also Smyth, Soberman, Easson, and McGill?

Answer 1

DuPlessis and O’Byrne define law as “a set of rules and principles intended to guide conduct in society, primarily by protecting persons and their property; facilitating personal and commercial interactions; and providing mechanisms for dispute recognition.

Smyth, Soberman, Easson, and McGill describe what law does, which is to “set standards of behaviour that are enforced by government also by persons and groups with the assist of government.”
