The Torah doesn't actually contain laws, it contains 'mitzvot'. The closest English translation of 'mitzvah' is 'guideline'. These mitzvot form the core guidelines for how Jews are supposed to live.
Jewish law is called 'halacha' and is found in the Talmud, which is not a part of the Tanach (Jewish Bible).
