Every rule that we face as law fulfills a function such as to maintain and protect a certain social connection and prevent it from disintegration. It could be said that there are four basic characteristics of law in general terms; law is normative, comprised of regularity, institutionalism and it is challenging. The function of law as a social concept can be listed as the following:

a. Defines the members of the group and determines mutual relationships

b. Resolves disputes

c. Regulates the behaviors

d. Ensures that the social power is organized and legitimizes it
