'This law which reaches into every comer of our lives is by and large respected' could be reread as 'This law which effects every part of our lives is in everything considered, entirely respected'.
'By and large' is an English idiom pretty much just meaning 'everthing considered'. They 'by' has no specifics in this case it should be thought as almost one word, as it makes the phrase complete.
Good question!
