13 Difference The difference between substantive law and procedural law is one of form and not of substance. It regulates the conduct and relation of courts and litigants. What fact constitute a wrong is determined by substantive law. What fact constitute proof of a wrong is question of procedural law. The substantive law determines right and the procedural give method to get that right.

14 Public and Private Law Public Law It regulates the relation of state with its subjects(citizens) Private Law It regulates the relation of subjects(citizens) between themselves.

15 Difference The simple difference between public and private law is in those that each affects. Public law affects society as a whole, while private law affects individuals, families, business and small groups.

16 Example Public Law Vs. Private Law If you saw a man run from a store with a few products under his arm, he is violating public law. He committed the crime of theft, and that affects everyone. On the other hand, if your neighbor filed suit against you because your barbeque smoke travels to his yard, you may be violating private law. You infringed on your neighbor's right to the peaceful enjoyment of his property. Essentially, the difference between public law and private law is whether the act or acts affect society as a whole or an issue between two or more people.

17 Civil & Criminal Law There are two main classifications of law. Criminal laws regulate crimes, or wrongs committed against the government. Civil laws regulate disputes between private parties. Parties In Criminal Cases: State vs. Mr. x In Civil Cases: Mr. A vs. Mr. B ( Plaintive Vs. Defendant)
