Statute (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

law

'statute' is the definition.
(I know that statute can be written as law)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for law that I've seen before include "Collection of rules for a society" , "Rule prohibiting certain actions" , "Regulation" , "Edict" , "Body of rules of conduct for a society" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate and the Sydney Morning Herald.
