Jun 8, 2016 at 4:26 comment added user6726 I will say no, because law and politics are distinct albeit related topics. Law is essentially the statement of political ideals as objective principles (established somehow – royal decree, vote of the people, decision of the council of elders), and the application of logic to those principles.
