Abstract
Classifications of Law
Law can be defined as a set of rules and regulations which governs the
human conduct or human behaviour. Law are the set norms which
maintain the law and order in the society. But according to the Austin’s
theory “A rule laid down for the guidance of an intelligent being by an
intelligent being having power him”. It is difficult to express but law is
defined by various authors differently.
For a proper understanding of a law, a classification of law is not only
desirable but also necessary. It clears the relation between different rules
and their effect on each other. Mainly the classification of law means the
varieties of law which governs the country. Mainly laws are divided in
two parts National/ state law and International law. When we come to the
National law it further divided into 2 parts i.e. Public law and private law
and same in international law. Like this the hierarchy moves and defines
various types of laws.
Classification of laws have been made from time to time. While
classifying laws there is not a guarantee that law will be permanent. Law
keeps on changing according to the needs of the people at different time
and at different places. This project will give an idea about how the laws
are classified differently at different point of time.
