There are many functions and purposes of law in our society.

Four principal purposes and functions are :

  1. establishing standards
  2. maintaining order
  3. resolving disputes and
  4. protecting liberties and rights.

There are four different types of laws for protection:

  1. criminal
  2. civil
  3. common
  4. statute.

The laws serve as a norm of conduct for the people living in the society.The law is important because it acts as a guideline as to what is accepted in society.Without the law,there would be conflicts between social groups and communities.
