because each law has its own purpose :-) there are probably overlaps in
some cases. Usually the simpler law is a special case of more general one
(I would guess that setting proper parameters you could get
Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack law from most of the laws). However,
the more general laws differ and this is simply the reason why there are
many of them :-)

Theoretically it would be possible to create one "united" material/law with
1000 parameters (996 default), but it would be just mess and from user's
point of view useless..

cheers
Jan
