Anthropology of law is a social science that examines law and understands law in a unique way. Law is not the written laws for the anthropology of law, those laws are only sources of law. Law is primarily a social action which has certain attributes and which produces rules that dictate how people must behave. Law is therefore seen as the most important part of any culture.
