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 King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Star Tribune, the Universal, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
