- National law comprises a country’s laws at the national level and subnational levels, as in the USA with federal and state laws.
- International law governs relations between governments and private individuals across borders, and states commit to it by joining organizations like the United Nations or by treaties.
- Civil law handles disputes among private citizens, while public law governs disputes between private subjects and the state; civil law aims to remedy wrongs or enforce agreements, with main English branches including contract, tort, trust, probate, company, employment, land, family and intellectual property law.
- Public law is mainly divided into criminal law, constitutional law, and administrative law.
- Criminal law deals with crimes that harm society and aims to deter others from offending.
- Constitutional law defines citizens’ rights and duties and regulates relationships between branches of government, usually set out in the constitution; in the UK the constitution is unwritten and lies in statutes like Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights.
- Administrative law, enforced by the executive rather than the legislative or judiciary, regulates areas such as international trade, taxation, environmental protection and manufacturing.
- Criminal actions are typically started by the state (the prosecution), while civil actions are usually started by individuals (the claimant/plaintiff), and the accused is called the defendant in both types.
