What does Legal mean?

"Legal" refers to everything related to law—the system of rules, regulations, and principles that govern behavior, relationships, and transactions in society and business. Something is legal when it follows applicable laws and illegal when it violates them.

Legal matters include contracts, regulations, intellectual property, employment rules, and dispute resolution. The goal is ensuring fairness, order, and predictability in personal and business activities.
