2 '''Law''' concerns the set of rules a [[society]] adopts to regulate behavior, to order life in its territory and to resolve disputes.
4 Each [[jurisdiction]] has its own laws; but laws are often quite similar, arising from similar values and similar social, economic and political conditions.
6 There are several distinct legal traditions; these differ less in the substantive content of the law than in their [[jargon]] and procedures.
8 The several different levels of [[government]] each produce their own laws (though the extent to which law is centralized varies); thus at any one place there can be laws in force established at the local, regional, state, national or international levels.
