The Right Hon. Lord MACMILLAN : 'What the Law is—III, The Content of the Law'
LORD MACMILLAN concludes his introductory talk on the general nature of the law with an examination of the extent it covers human conduct. The law embodies the rules that govern men as social beings, but has no say in their individual moralities, loyalties, and beliefs. This clear statement of the scope of the law, its criminal and civil definitions, and its limitations, will clear up many misconceptions, and give an easy approach to the series of talks that follows on the practical functioning of the law of the land.
