I have made some fairly savage amendments. It reads better, but could be far more comprehensive. I have added some areas of private law, as having just family law seemed a bit piontless. Arthur Markham15:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

A public law affects the nation as a whole, or deal with individuals as a class, and relates to public matters. A private law benefits only a specific individual or individuals.Private law deal primarily with matters relating to claims against the governmnet or with matters of immigration and naturalization.

Why do the labels "private law" and "public law" matter? Is one in books bound in blue and the other in green, are there two separate court systems, do they originate from different legislative bodies, etc.
I am asking a straightforward question -- I truly don't know.
