法律无处不在。法律包括我们的社会数百年来发展起来的规则，用以组织我们在社区中的共同生活。在学习法律时，您不仅要学习这些规则是什么，还要学习它们为什么存在，它们如何发展以及它们与社会和经济目标的关系。您还考虑法律应如何规范社会以及法律可以如何塑造我们生活的世界。
Law is all around us. Law consists of the rules that our society has developed over hundreds of years to organise how we live together in a community. In studying law you learn, not only what these rules are, but also why they exist, how they have developed and how they relate to social and economic goals. You also think about how the law should regulate society and about the different ways in which law can shape the world in which we live.
