Describe the differences between criminal and civil law, substantive and procedural law, and business law and other forms of law.
Civil laws govern offenses against individuals while criminal law addresses offenses against society. Procedural law deals with methods of enforcing legal rights and duties while substantive law defines rights and duties for all conduct except that involved in enforcement. Business law specifically covers rules that apply to business situations and transactions; however, other kinds of laws may also affect business practices.
