On Aquinasâs view, a law is âa rule or measure of human acts, whereby a person is induced to act or is restrained from actingâ (ST IaIIae 90.1). Elsewhere, he describes a law as a âdictate of practical reason emanating from a rulerâ (ST IaIIae 91.1).
A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. 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 and natural law.  - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
