Public law refers to laws that govern the relationship between individuals and the state.
Public law involves criminal laws, administrative law, and constitutional law. Constitutional laws lay
down the right of individuals in the state. Criminal laws codify the various offenses committed by
individuals against the state.

Private law involves the relationship between rights and obligations between individuals. An

enable proper to be recovered from wrongdoers, and to enforce obligations (contract and trusts).
Private law covers contract, tort, and trust.

International law is the body of law composed of principles and rules of conduct, which are
commonly observed in their relation to each other. An example of the application of international law
