Intro
With 1000 base damage, the largest explosion radius in the game and benefits from levelling the Heavy Weapons skill, there is little argument that the LAW is Deus Ex's strongest weapon. The caveat, of course, is that only one can be carried at a time and LAWs are quite uncommon. However, that is what this guide is for -- a handy reference for your nearest potential LAW.
Hell's Kitchen, First Visit
The first LAW of Deus Ex comes a couple hours into the game. In a storeroom in the sewers of Hell's Kitchen that is occupied by Majestic 12.
Lebedev's Airfield
In the underground of Lebedev's private section of LaGuardia, there is a control room with a button hidden behind a plant. Pressing the button reveals a secret storeroom with many items inside it. Including a LAW.

Further into the airfield, you will happen across a small building with barracks and a kitchen inside. A brick that can be interacted with near the ground floor dart board will reveal another hidden room with a LAW.
UNATCO Escape
In the armory of the MJ12 facility below UNATCO, there will be LAW hanging on the wall.
Hong Kong
Talking to Maggie Chow when first confronting her will yield the passcode to the Wan Chai police station. Amusingly, the law will have a LAW in their storage.

In the freezer of the Lucky Money night club, there will be Hong Kong's second LAW.
Brooklyn Naval Shipyards
With the overall goal of scuttling a super freighter, this level is full of explosives, LAWs included. One of the first you can find is in the sewer passageway that runs beneath the base.

In the ammo depot, there are two LAWs. One on top of the interior control shack within a crate and another in a crate in a bay.

The final LAW of the level is on top of a shipping container on the PRCS Wall Cloud itself, it is right next to one of the cranes that you can climb.
Paris, Denfert-Rochereau and Catacombs
A building with small bunker beneath it in the first map of Paris will house a LAW.
Near the end of the Catacombs, there will be a female MiB who totes a LAW, she will need to be rendered unconscious via the Prod, Baton or tranquilizer darts for the Mini-Crossbow if you want access to her inventory.
Paris, Champs-Élysées, Chateau DuClare and Knights Templar Cathedral
Exiting the Catacombs sewers into the Paris streets will put you uncomfortably close to a rather large group of MJ12 troops. The trooper who stands with the Doberman will be carrying a LAW.

Within the basement of Beth DuClare's home, there will be a small blocked-off room with a crate containing a LAW.

The vault of the cathedral houses a LAW which is quite useful in the fight against Gunther Hermann.
Vandenberg
Outdoors behind the main building of Vandenberg, there is a scaffolding that a pair of MJ12 goons are using as a sniper nest. There are also two LAWs you can reach if you climb up the ladder of scaffolding and onto a pipe.

Within the submerged section of the tunnels beneath Vandenberg, there will be a crate containing a LAW in the large room.
Ocean Lab and Missile Silo
On top of the on-shore module of the Ocean Lab, there are two MJ12 troopers who patrol the catwalk. One carries a GEP Gun and the other -- who has the Assault Rifle equipped -- also carries a LAW.

Within the MJ12 missile silo, there will be a barracks building, entering a two-digit code will give you access to its attic, where it contains a LAW in a crate.
Area 51
A shack with a security terminal in the outside portion of Area 51 houses a crate with a LAW.

Also on the outdoors portion of Area 51, the basement bunker of the barracks building will have a LAW within a crate.

Much further down, right before the entrance to Bob Page's domain, a dead US Marine will have a LAW on the ground beside him.

Within Sector 4's coolant area, nestled in a stairwell, there will be a crate with a LAW.

Also in Sector 4's coolant area and rather well hidden, the final LAW of Deus Ex can be found in the deep underwater channel. Just follow the unflinching gaze of a dead US Marine.

The LAW is the best weapon for silent take-down. Specifically when taking out Manderley....just another bureaucratic parasite.
