'shoulder' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'the law has one' is the wordplay.
'the law' becomes 'rm' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'rm' put after 'a' is 'ARM'.

'too to' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

(Other definitions for arm that I've seen before include "Steel" , "Limb or branch" , "Part of chair" , "What soldiers do" , "inlet" .)
