American Sign Language:  law / rule / principle / commandment


This sign can be initialized with an "R" to mean "rule," a "P" to mean "principle," or a "C" to mean commandment (as in the ten commandments).  A combination of a "C" that changes to an "E" is used to indicate "Code of Ethics."
 



LAW:  Touch the palm of the right "L" hand to the left flat-hand palm. Then pull it off an inch or two, move it down an inch or two and touch the left palm again.


See:  Lawyer


RULE:


PRINCIPLE:


 


NOTE:  This sign doesn't mean "principal" (spelled with an "al.") Principal uses a different sign.
