Program Summary
Public and private law as a course explores the fundamental principles governing legal systems, distinguishing between laws that regulate relationships between individuals and the state versus those that govern interactions between private parties. Public law encompasses constitutional, administrative, and criminal law, focusing on how governments operate, citizens' rights, and the enforcement of laws to maintain public order. It examines the structure of government institutions, the role of public authorities, and legal mechanisms ensuring accountability. Private law, on the other hand, deals with legal relationships between individuals, organizations, or businesses, covering areas such as contract law, property law, family law, and tort law. This aspect of the course delves into how private disputes are resolved, the enforcement of agreements, and legal protections for personal and commercial interests. By studying both public and private law, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal framework that shapes society, the balance between state power and individual rights, and the mechanisms for resolving conflicts in different contexts. The course also introduces key legal concepts, case law analysis, and the role of judicial institutions in interpreting and applying laws. Through theoretical and practical approaches, students develop critical thinking and analytical skills essential for understanding legal principles and their application in real-world scenarios.
