Rule according to higher law

Rule according to higher law means to look at a situation and make decisions that are fair and just, even if they don't align with laws or rules. It means to consider what is right and wrong and act based on that. Like if a law says one thing, but you think it is wrong to do what the law says, then you should go with what you think is right and not follow the law.
