It’s not a law. It’s more of a tradition. A captain is supposed to be responsible for the safety of the passengers on the ship. He should be the last one off the ship if it starts to sink. If a captain does leave the ship before all passengers are off the ship, he may have to go to trial to answer for negligence charges.
