Classification of the law system

1 The law can be divided into substantive and procedural categories.

Procedural law comprises the set of rules that govern the proceedings of the court in criminal lawsuits as well as civil and administrative proceedings. The court needs to conform to the standards setup by procedural law, while during the proceedings. These rules ensure fair practice and consistency in the "due process".

Substantive law is a statutory law that deals with the legal relationship between people or the people and the state. Therefore, substantive law defines the rights and duties of the people, but procedural law lays down the rules with the help of which they are enforced. The differences between the two need to be studied in greater detail, for better understanding.

2 The law can be divided into private and public categories.

The difference between private and public law is that public law is concerned with the structure of government, the duties and powers of officials, and the relationship between the individual and the state, while private law is concerned with both substantive and procedural rules governing relationships between individuals. Private law is concerned with private injuries, contracts, wills and the like.

3 The law can be divided into internal and international categories.

Internal law is the set of rules and regulations which govern a certain country

International law is the set of rules generally regarded and accepted as binding in relations between states and nations. It serves as a framework for the practice of stable and organized international relations. The term "international law" can refer to some legal disciplines: public international law, private international law

There are two law system of the world - common law system and civil law system. The difference between civil and common law systems is that civil law systems are codified systems, and the basic law is found in codes, while common law system resisted codification, and this law is not based on acts of parliament but on case law.
