Law is a body of rules of conduct of binding legal force and effect, prescribed, recognized, and enforced by controlling authority. Law affects everyday life and society in a variety of ways. Legal systems around the world elaborate legal rights and responsibilities in different ways. Laws and legal systems reflect the society and culture out of which they arise.

The United Kingdom has three distinct systems of law. English law, which applies in England and Wales, and Northern Ireland law, which applies in Northern Ireland, are based on common-law principles. Scots law, which applies in Scotland, is a hybrid system based on both common-law and civil-law principles. The treaty of Union guaranteed the continued existence of a separate law system for Scotland.
