Legal

The term “legal” refers to matters relating to the law and the judicial system. It encompasses anything that is authorized or permitted by law, as well as the set of rules and principles established by statutes, regulations, and precedents that govern behavior within a society. Legal concepts often include rights, duties, obligations, and the processes by which laws are created, interpreted, and enforced. The field of law can cover various areas such as criminal law, civil law, administrative law, and constitutional law, each addressing different aspects of legal relationships and conflicts. When something is described as “legal,” it typically implies that it aligns with the existing laws of a jurisdiction and is enforceable in a court of law.
