Perhaps you did not read the post in regards to my wife having passed on due to cancer and the Privileged Elitist Doctors who graduated from Med School, admitting that they do NOT know what causes cancer. The same can be said about the attorneys. At least one of them on this forum has already admitted that he does not know all there is regarding law, AND bravo, you have just admitted the same. However, you never have been able to give to the reading audience, a clear and distinct definition of what 'the law' or 'just plain law' is. Can you do it?

That doctors admitted to you that they do not know for sure what causes cancer ought to tell you that they are being honest, because they admit the limits of their knowledge. It's people like David Merrill who, on top of having lost every verifiable time, are so sure of themselves that ought to give you pause.
I've never been married, so I admittedly don't know exactly what it feels like to lose your spouse. But I lost my mother to complications from diabetes back in 2003. That my mother died at the relatively young age of 59 is not "proof" that her doctors were ignorant or incompetent.
It hurt like hell to lose my mother. Not only was she fairly young, but I was the one who found her body. Death isn't pleasant. I know that you are feeling depressed right now. That is totally normal.
No human being is all knowing or all powerful, be that human being a doctor, a lawyer, or a member of any other profession.
You ask what "the law" or "just plain law" is. Your question is too vague to be answered. Secular law, religious law? If you mean religious law, which religion? Jewish law? Christian? Muslim?
In any event, if you mean the secular law...which includes the Constitution of the United States...the law is always changing. New statutes are passed by Congress and the state legislatures. New cases are decided. The law is not fixed. It changes. Society changes, and the law reflects that change. Sometimes, the law leads that change.
Of course I don't know all the law. I'm only licensed as an attorney in Georgia. Thanks to things such as the 10th Amendment, the law can vary widely from one of the fifty states to another. Even considering the state I AM licensed in, the laws passed by the legislature make up about 50 thick books of annotated statutes. Caselaw from the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of this state are another huge body of law I have to consider whenever I take a case. And if the U.S. Constitution or U.S. Code contradict the laws of my state, I have a Supremacy Clause issue to consider.
The law is rarely cut and dried. If it were, every Supreme Court case would be 9 justices on the official opinion of the court, none contra. Many Supreme Court cases now are 5-4 votes. If some of the best legal minds in America can be so sharply divided, your expectation that I (or anyone else) can give you "the law" or "just plain law" in a few paragraphs on an internet bulletin board is shockingly naive.
Words to ponder....
