Functions of law in society

The law is there to ensure that there is peace in the society. In the United States, there has been occasions where intruders and especially terrorist have launched their activities in the United States. Such laws peace keeping are there to ensure that every criminal activity is dealt with seriously. This law allows the society to be comfortable for every person and keep them safe. Another function of the law is to ensure that there is promotion of social justice. Social justice allows the society to be safe from any harm that might be planned against any American citizen and that the distribution of resources is equal to every society. Social justice is very important since it allows people to live harmoniously with each other without tension and hatred (Vago, 2015).  Success of the peace keeping example is the occasion when America was hit by terrorist in the year 2001. Americans came together to ask for peace and by use of the law, peace was obtained. Failure of the peace keeping law is the occasions where various black leaders have been executed causing a lot of chaos among their society especially the black Americans. Success of the social justice is when there are free and fair election activities regardless of the color. Failure is where the black communities have been discriminated in terms of being given equal opportunities especially in schools and job opportunities.

Litigation is a process whereby two parties are involved in making a decision on their differences. There are implications incurred through the use of this methodology to solve disputes. There is flexibility in the system of solving the matter (Schmidt et al., 2017). Litigations in courts are mostly controlled by the statutory rules and therefore fast to resolve. The cost involved is often more that it would have been since the courts are mostly compressed with cases therefore making it hard to resolve such a matter cheaply. There is also the time wastage as the courts have more than enough cases to deal with making it hard to resolve the matter timely.
