The Law is the first and only album from the rock supergroup The Law.

The Law was formed when Paul Rodgers met Kenney Jones in a nightclub in London and decided to put a band together. The two teamed up with different supporting musicians in order to give Rodgers freedom to pursue whatever music style he felt like. Unlike his previous projects, in which he wrote or co-wrote most of the material, Rodgers relied heavily on outside writers to write songs for the album (such as Phil Collen, Chris Rea and Bryan Adams); ironically, the only chart topper of the album, "Laying Down the Law", was written by Rodgers himself. The album features notable appearances by David Gilmour, Bryan Adams and Chris Rea. The song "Stone" was previously recorded by Rea for his album Shamrock Diaries, and Rea plays guitar on this version. The track "Miss You in a Heartbeat", written by Phil Collen, was later covered by Collen's band Def Leppard as a B-side for their Adrenalize album.

Aside from the single, the album was received very poorly by the critics and the public which led to disbanding of the band.
