Law is not a homogeneous body of rules. In fact, it consists of many fields of law that sometimes exhibit large differences. This section deals with the fields of law in a general way. In particular, it focuses upon two major divisions within the law, namely the divisions between public and private laws and between substantive and procedural laws. Moreover, it discusses a number of basic legal concepts such as rule, legal subject, juridical act, right, and competence.
