contents Physics-informed Neural Network (PINN) faces significant challenges when approximating solutions to conservation laws, particularly in ensuring conservation and accurately resolving discontinuities. To address these limitations, we propose Conservation Law-informed Neural Network (CLINN), a novel framework that incorporates the boundedness constraint, implicit solution form, and Rankine-Hugoniot condition of scalar conservation laws into the loss function, thereby enforcing exact conservation properties. Furthermore, we integrate a residual-based adaptive refinement (RAR) strategy to dynamically prioritize training near discontinuities, substantially improving the network's ability to capture sharp gradients. Numerical experiments are conducted on benchmark problems, including the inviscid Burgers equation, the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) traffic flow model, and the Buckley-Leverett problem. Results demonstrate that CLINN achieves superior accuracy in resolving solution profiles and discontinuity locations while reducing numeral oscillations. Compared to conventional PINN, CLINN yields a maximum reduction of 99.2% in mean squared error (MSE).
