Truth for the law is normative and nonprobalisitic. Chapter 1 introduction and understanding law and society. Law increasingly permeates all forms of social behaviour. Laws govern our entire existence and actions. Laws demarcate the relationships between employers and employees, parents and children. Traditional societies are more homogenous than modern industrial ones. Every legal system stands in close relationships to the ideas, aims and purposes of society. Legal culture: those attributes of behaviour and attitudes that make the law of one society different from another. Sociological jurisprudence: the study of law and legal philosophy and the use of its ideas in law to regulate conduct. Lawyers and sociologists are different through language and much more. Law reacts to problems most of the time (law) Problems are generated within the system (sociology)
