  Pareto Law
In the late 1800s, Vilfredo Pareto, an economist, established that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.
The Pareto law, in its generalized form, states that 80 % of the objectives - or more generally the effects - are achieved with 20 % of the means - or more generally the causes or the agents.
In other words, the cost required to move from 80 % to 100 % of the objective is four times bigger than the one required to move from 0 % to 80 %.

 Law.com - $80 Million Crematory Settlement Is 'Monopoly Money,' Says Attorney
Thursday's announcement of an $80 million settlement between the operator of a northwest Georgia crematory and the families of the dead whose bodies were discarded there isn't all that it seems.
Attorneys representing an estimated class of 1,700 next-of-kin announced the $80 million settlement by Marsh and his father's estate as the second civil trial in the case got under way.
The families of the Tri-State dead are attempting to intervene in the Walker County case and have asked that the declaratory judgment settlement be set aside, said Darroch.

 UNCITRAL Digest of Article 80 case law
Article 80 strips a party of its right to rely on the other side's failure to perform to the extent that the second party's failure was caused by an "act or omission" of the first party.
In one case, the application of article 80 focused on whether it was the actions of the buyer or a third party that caused the seller not to fulfill its obligations.
Thus while article 80 has been invoked to prevent a party from recovering damages,[29] it has also been used to block a party from avoiding the contract[30] and from using the other side's non-performance as a defense.

 R. v. Sharma   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
She stated that it is a well-established rule of administrative law that the power to enact by-laws does not include the power to enact discriminatory by-laws unless the enabling legislation provided for the discrimination directly or by necessary implication.
She defined discrimination in the administrative law sense as the drawing of a distinction by a subordinate authority that is not authorized by the enabling legislation, relying upon the decision of this Court in Montréal (City of) v.
Given the invalidity of the by-law which the appellant was alleged to have breached, she held that the conviction itself could not stand.

 Shirky: Power Laws, Weblogs, and Inequality
Power law distributions, the shape that has spawned a number of catch-phrases like the 80/20 Rule and the Winner-Take-All Society, are finally being understood clearly enough to be useful.
The linguist George Zipf observed that word frequency falls in a power law pattern, with a small number of high frequency words (I, of, the), a moderate number of common words (book, cat cup), and a huge number of low frequency words (peripatetic, hypognathous).
Six Degrees, and The Laws of the Web, we know that power law distributions tend to arise in social systems where many people express their preferences among many options.

 The Black Commentator - Race, Racism and the Law - Issue 80
According to some law school deans, it is due to pressures to increase ranking in the US News and World Report.
Whatever the reason law schools choose to implement LSAT “presumptive deny” practices, it is completely unacceptable to have policies and practices that effectively discriminate against Blacks, Latinos, Asian, and Indians.
Law schools (Deans and Faculty) could reject the LSAT as the primary factor and have admissions committees do full file reviews, balancing a broad range of factors important to producing ethical, competent attorneys, including the diversity of the class.

A familiar way to think about power laws is the 80/20 rule: 80% of the wealth is controlled by 20% of the population.
I've also noticed the power law in effect in the inter-page links which occur on a wiki, which is interesting because links are typically made based on the merits of the information, and not due to either a cult of personality or simply high visibility.
You can generate power law distributions where in circumstances where the probability that, say, a randomly selected web page will link to your page is an increasing function of the number of pages that have *already* linked to your page.
