Public law is the aspect of law that governs relations between legal persons and a government as well as, between different institutions within a state. Public law also regulates the relationships among different branches of governments, and between persons of influence in society.
Public law consists of constitutional law, administrative law, taxation law as well as criminal law. It also includes all procedural law. Public law differs from private law in that, while it governs issues that affect the entire society, private laws are concerned with relationships between individuals within the society.
In the undergraduate level, there is no specialization in a particular aspect of law. Law students are therefore required to be conversant with every aspect of civil law.
