Law new is a term used to describe legal innovations. It can refer to products, technologies and practices that enhance existing legal services, or it can encompass entirely new approaches to the practice of law. The concept of new law has been embraced by a wide range of companies, startups and legal technology providers. Some also use the term to refer to their business models.

Laws are official rules that govern behavior in a country or society. They can be written or unwritten and are enacted by legislatures, such as Congress, or administrative bodies, such as the Federal Reserve Board. A law may be a bill, statute or regulation. The Supreme Court, for example, is a source of laws, but it also interprets them.

A law can be controversial. For example, it might allow police officers to take DNA samples from people they arrest, or it might require nurse practitioners to assess people’s eligibility for assisted suicide. Often, the issue revolves around morality or human rights.

A court’s interpretation of a law can change how the law is applied. For example, a higher court might overturn an earlier ruling on a constitutional issue, such as the right to privacy or freedom of expression. In other cases, a lower court might clarify what parts of a law are still valid or how the law is applied.
