Summary/Abstract: The field of law is the social life of people together. The task of law is to create order in their relations and in their relations with the public authority, as well as in the relations of the public authority themselves with each other. All these relations are to be clearly established and fairly regulated. The words 'law' and 'fair' have a common root. Law is the art of the good and the fair, in the words of the ancient Roman jurist Celsus, later quoted by his famous "colleague" Ulpian and made into a maxim. It is an art, according to those who make the law, to arrange the various relations in such a way, in accordance with the idea of social justice, that an optimal "good and fair order" is obtained according to the social circumstances. This order is to be accepted by the vast majority, to build authority, to facilitate the unfolding of social activity.
