The law has been around almost as long as humans have been. Since ever since Ogg pinched Zed's blanket, and the tribe adjudicated on who had right to the blanket, they have existed. One would think that all laws and legal aspects would grow with the world, but not so. Some have grown, expanded and been modified to match the hectic lifestyle that most people now live, and some, once made, have simply found themselves redundant, but never been modified or scrapped.
There are laws that have never been enacted. Rules that are obscure. Regulations that were made centuries ago, repealed, reworded, and trotted out in other guises. Some regulations that exist now, are so obsolete that even lawyers have not a clue what they are about.
The lady who stands for law has three symbols in her hands, that symbolize what exactly the three rules are. The sword is a statement of what the courts stand for; the scales show what each claim should be weighed; and the blindfold says that the justice given should be given out objectively, without fear or favour. Many have tried to bend this to their own favour, but somehow justice usually has her way.
The main symbol of law is a goddess sitting, with three signs of justice about her. One is a sword, showing that the court is all-powerful. As the second are scales, they depict that justice weighs up each respective claim, and the third is a blindfold, which symbolizes that justice will be done, without fear or favour to either side.
There is a law system to govern one's everyday life, although many are not aware there are so many. For instance, walking down a footpath and breaking off a flower which is sticking through the fence is technically a regulation broken, although it is one not often enacted. The owner of the flower is technically entitled to damages and the price of the flower to be paid to them.
One's health can be a bone of contention too. If one fails to see that the footpath is uneven, and falls on it, then there are grounds for compensation for the fall, and attention to be paid, so it does not happen again. If a company does not keep its workers safe, from outside factors, and themselves, if an employee's health is disrupted, and they suffer severe ongoing disabilities, they are entitled to help with medical bills from the company. Many legal ramifications can stem from a small mishap.
Many people break rules unknowingly every day. But, while to some people, those laws don't apply to them, to others caught doing the same thing, and not knowing what the rule is, can be very painful, both in pocket, and body. Some regulations are there to protect people from themselves, and it is wise to be up-to-date with them.
It can be very expensive to appear in a court. Each person there is really an employee of the justice system, and, as such, need to be paid. If the misdemeanor is such that one narrowly misses jail, then a fine is issued, which is part of the process. A judge sets this, and the legal terms within which the fine must be paid. Other parts of the sentence are also added to the fine, such as community service, and other things, such as certain clinics or services that one must attend.
The ramifications of law are wide-spread. Spend half-an-hour on the Internet and find out many regulations that one has never heard of. The law in some countries, for instance, states that a thief must lose one hand for an offense, and both, if it is severe enough. There are penalties, and penalties. If the man one the giraffe, for instance, does it once, he may be fined, and the giraffe confiscated for a day or two, until the owner sobers up. But, if he does it several times, and is arrested several times, then he might be looking at several weeks or months in a jail, the loss of his giraffe, and being made attend several clinics to address his drink problem.
