Okrand often uses various types of introductory clauses or phrases preceding the law'/puS formula. In this case you can use a purpose clause:
tIvmeH chorgh ram maw' qaq law' wa' jaj qaq puS.
For models (I've marked the introductory clauses by <angle brackets>) see:
<jonlu'meH> wo'maj pop tIn law' Hoch tIn puS

<tlhutlhmeH> HIq ngeb qaq law' bIQ qaq puS
