# Long description

A flow diagram. At the top is a single box with ‘The idea of law’ written in it. Below this are two feeder lines which feed into two boxes on the row below. One of these boxes has ‘Law in books’ written in it, the other reads ‘Law in Action’. Under the ‘Law in books’ box are two more more feeder lines which lead to two further boxes on the row below. These two boxes read ‘A system of rules’ and ‘A source of justice’. Under the ‘law in action’ box, there are two more boxes feeding from it. These read ‘A means of creating order’ and '‘A means of resolving disputes’.
