Law of the Land is the third album by the Norman Whitfield's Motown group The Undisputed Truth. Law of the Land was the last Undisputed Truth album recorded by the group's original line-up, as founding members Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce Evans would leave shortly after its release.

Undisputed Truth was an odd sort of band, where on this their final album with the original lineup, all of the material laid down had been previously recorded, and were chart topping hits from other artists. The second way of viewing this attribute is to consider that Undisputed Truth purposely intended to compile an album of material previously released, and then hit the world with their own. Regardless, the single Law Of The Land is an infectious harmonic five star rolling psych-funk event, sending shivers down my spine and opened new doors for me, though as I said, did not at all represent what was delivered on the rest of this album.
