 Rules and laws-and the conventions or customs from which they are descended-have
been a part of human life ever since our ancestors first began to live in large and settled
groups.But our knowledge is vague of laws that were in effect before the invention of
writing in about 3500 B.C.The earliest known legal text was written by Ur-Nammu ,a king
of the Mesopotamian city of Ur in about 2100 B.C.It deal largely with compensation for
bodily injuries ,and with the penalties for witchcraft and runaway slaves.

Almost everything we do is governed by some set of rules.There are rules for games,for
social clubs,for sports and for adults in the work rulesplace.There are also rules imposed
by morality and custom that play an important role in telling us what we should and
should not do. However, some rules-those made by the state or the courts-are
called,,laws’’. Since the primeval times the purpose of law is to maintain the order of the
country despite changes in leadership.It helps to remind all those who may have assumed
new power that what is and isn’t lawful remains the same despite their advent into the
head of the ruling party.Regulation of power is also what law takes into account as no
one ,not even the president,possesses full reign over the country due to the existence and
practice of law.The purpose of lawis to maintain individual freedoms,while still keeping in
mind what is moral and right.

It terms of the judicial system,the purpose of the law is attached to the way in which
judges may rule over cases brought forward for their specific attention.Without the
presence of law,there could never be judgment over what is or isn’t
lawful.Therefore,judges would be left to decide based on frivolous beliefs that may have
no basis what’s over.Law is in existence to further the progress of societies as absence of
it would only have whole nations revert back.Law functions to ensure that it’s citizens
have the opportunity to exercise the rights provided to them.It semingly regulates a lot of
what we think and do,through some may not be as obvious as others.

,,The more laws,the less justice’’

Chisinau 2020

While reading one famous book on Political Science yesterday, I happened to

explore this noble quotation of a noted Roman philosopher, politician, lawyer,
orator, political theorist, and constitutionalist, Marcus Tullius Cicero, who once
said, “The more laws, the less justice“. Whenever I reflect upon these words, I am
pained to say that my country today has become a classic example, rather a real
interpretation of this time-tested quote. It is to law alone that men owe justice
and liberty. It is this salutary organ of the will of all which establishes in civil rights
the natural equality between men. It is this celestial voice which dictates to each
citizen the precepts of public reason, and teaches him to act according to the rules
. The liberty of a people consists in being governed by laws which they have made
themselves, under whatsoever form it be of government; the liberty of a private
man, in being master of his own time and actions, as far as may consist with the
laws of God and of his country. In Pakistan we have organisations, may not be
many, but a few which are being run sans employees service rules, hence, the
employees are kept deprived of their career growth and other employment rights,
here in this country, only little thieves, involved in crime and corruption of all sorts,
are caught but the great ones always escape. Don’t you see what is happening in
my home province Sindh and other parts of the country nowadays? The more laws
we have in this country to fight crime and corruption, the more thieves, bandits
and corrupt elements we have in the society and in the public sector. A vast
majority of people in power and authority set thieves, not with this intention to
catch thieves, but become thieves of state resources. We have less and slow
justice in the society, therefore, the corrupt and criminal lot is enjoying all of the
creature comforts both in land and abroad. Many laws, available in this country,
provide them an opportunity to become thieves and corrupt because they know
that the more laws, means the more interpretations, the more complications, the
more procedural hitches and hindrances to impede an expeditious dispensation of
justice in this country but who cares in this country where procrastination , which
the thief of the time, operates and where young thieves and young corrupt officers
are not penalised in the prime of their career so that do not become hardened
stealers of the State resources and corrupt to the core in the long run
.

Justice- the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness;Justitie

Lawyer- a person whose profession is to represent clients in a court of law or to advise or act
for clients in other legal matters.
