`  :<>>  :I fail to see the distinction.  Who better than legal scholars to define what the law is?  Moreover, my comments in re how legal scholars define the law were a response to your dubious assertion that law qua law can be defined as a ``decision process.``  That assertion has no place in the main law article.  :<>  :I disagree.  The enactment of a statute falls under the topic of legislation.  :<>  :These issues are not law qua law; they are topics which should be discussed under the ambit of particular legal topics, such as ``statutory interpretation`` or ``contracts,`` or related topics, such as ``sociology`` and ``political science.``  :<>  :Law qua law is first and foremost a body of knowledge:  The academic field to which you refer is the study of that body of knowledge, and should be considered as part and parcel of the discussion found in the main law article; the profession of law is the application of that body of knowledge, which should be discussed in the ``practice of law`` article.`
