US Supreme Court rules for Google over Oracle

Classic example: enforcement of the law in regard to things we would now consider the obvious preserve of the state like murder was a family matter in ancient Rome: the state did not get involved (except in the very rare case that the Emperor himself got interested) and it seems that matters like evidence were almost always much less important than the relative standing of the victim's family and the accused's. But things like what clothes you wore, or whether you lived in excessive luxury? That was a matter of state, and a serious one. (Though even there any role for anything like evidence was... marginal.)

The way societies are constructed is a social construct, obviously enough. The law is an aspect of the way societies are constructed, so it's a social construct. It sits on biological underpinnings shared with many other animals driving emotions governing things like perceived fairness, retribution, etc, but it is still a social construct.
