Austin’s Theory of Law “a command given by a superior to an inferior.” In other words, it is a general command to do or abstain from doing certain acts, issued directly or indirectly by the Sovereign or the Superior to a person or persons, who are his inferiors, in the sense that they are subject to his authority.” Command SovereignSanction

Salmond’s Definition Law may be defined as the body of Principles recognized and applied by the state in the administration of Justice.

Blackstone’s definition. Law in its most general and comprehensive sence signifies a rule of action and is applied indiscriminately to all kinds of actions, wheter inmate or inanimate, rational or irrational. Thus, we say the laws of gravitation, or optics or machanics, as well as the laws of nature and or nations.”

Gray’s Definition The Law of the state or of any organized body of men is composed of the rules which the courts, that is, judicial organs of that body- lay down for the determination of the legal rights and duties.
