An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. ââ¯King 1963. Man-made law is law that is made by human beings.It is a concept that is usually considered in opposition to concepts like natural law or divine law.he result of any such conflict is that the man-made law does not oblige in the court of conscience (ST, IâII q. 95 a. 4).
