What exactly is Law but a well-known and legitimate Profession? According to Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. in an address made to the students of the Boston Law School in the year 1897, a law student must remember certain important points when embarking on a study of law, and he stated that the student must be both pragmatic and also specific. He also said that there are some individuals who feel that the Law in itself is a mystery of sorts, and obscure in its ways, and its various twists and turns, but the fact is, Law is something that those people who are studying it do in order to be able to appear before a judge, or to prevent certain people from having to appear in a Court of Law. Therefore, if one wished to study the Law, then perhaps it would be good to peruse certain important principles that would serve as the background for the study of this profession, also known as 'systematized predictions'. (Holmes, 3).

             Maybe these principles would help those men who would like to use the Law as an instrument on which to base their 'predictions' of the future. There is an ideal that is as yet unattained by the persons in this profession, and this is that most people do not understand its limits, and therefore, as a result, the boundary between morality and Law is often broken without compunction. For example, a bad man has his own reasons to avoid the police, and this shows the practical difference between the law and morality, the same as a good man, but for the bad man, the distinction between morality and law is slim. However, this is not to say that this is a cynical view; the law is indeed a witness to the moral fiber of a human being, and the history of law reveals this fact with clarity, and when law is practiced, it makes "good citizens and good men". However, since most of law is encased in language that is not easily comprehensible, it makes it lapse into something akin to fallacy at some point, and this must be avoided.
