Laws and the broader legal systems have been established, enforced, interpreted, and applied by human beings, and reflect the beliefs and values of the society from which they flow. According to Teitelbaum and Wilensky (2017), the law’s primary purpose is to organize and control the dynamic, complex society we live in through regulating a variety of relationships among parties who may have competing interests such as individual citizen and government, patients and physicians, beneficiary and public programs, or individuals and their families.
