This chapter explores the law as guaranteed against power, with law as perpetuation of power and encouragement for its relentless accumulation. The thinkers and law scholars are grouped under the philosophical tradition of the former or the latter, which does not imply disrespecting their contribution for having added little to the contrasting paradigms drawn thousands of years ago. Corporate actors and other powerful offenders, in their turn, find inspiration in the argument, as their power too be deemed prior to the law. The chapter also examines the objectivity of law, its capacity to make all powers bow before it, and at the same time be indignant that it is so supple, so obsequious, that it has the regrettable capacity to cloak the nakedness of power relations. This constant seesawing is deemed to be all the more awkward in that it is hardly reconcilable with the stability and permanency of the principles the law is expected to guarantee.
