The study of law begins with understanding its foundations—what law is, why it exists, and how it functions in society. This assignment is designed to introduce first-year students to the core principles, sources, and purposes of law. It explores the role of law in maintaining order, resolving disputes, protecting rights, and promoting justice. Through this task, students will familiarize themselves with key legal concepts such as the rule of law, legal systems, classifications of law, and the relationship between law and morality. The assignment aims to build a strong foundation for more advanced legal studies and to develop analytical thinking, interpretation, and legal writing skills from the outset of the legal education journey.
