If you are referring to civil law, it is important to not have any religious influence on civil law. A legal code should represent all the people and should be formulated by representatives elected by all the people. Most religions are patriarchal and do not provide women with equal rights. Most countries are made up of people with different religious backgrounds and people with no religious affiliations. Those are extremely important reasons why civil law should never be religious based.

In the Torah, there are 7 guidelines for all the nations of the world that provide the basis for living righteously. One of these guidelines specifies that every nation must establish a just legal system for its people, this includes just laws through which civil society is establish. The same applies to the Jewish nation.

The Jewish laws are called 'halach' in Hebrew and are recorded in the Talmud.

Answer:

Because they were given by God (Exodus 24:12).
