Part I
-. According to what is explained in the class, According to the law or laws of your country, point out two examples of public law and two examples of private law, and explain why you consider these rights to be part of public and private law.
-. You must select two laws of your country; you must place them in one of the branches of law explained in class (or with which of the branches of law it is related or similar), and you must also explain why you place that law in that specific branch.
Examples of Public Law: (NIGERIA)
1.Criminal or Behavioural Law:
This is a public law because of its content that tends to govern the public space against crimes against the state and public spaces. In this law, there are clear definitions of what the state frowns against as crime and punitive action as punishment due.
It is classified under public law because it is a case where the state is found persecuting an individual for actions classified as harmful. And this law is coined to maintain public order and further breakdown of public peace.
A typical example of this is a case of theft and robbery. A situation where a person steals from the other unknowingly, forcefully, violently, and in a manner that intimidates and subdues the victim.
2.Administrative Law:
This is another public law that is coined to regulate government agencies and how best they carry out their operations.
It is a public law because of the relationship it has between the state and individuals because of the stipulated guidelines the states must adhere to while serving the public.
A typical example of an administrative law is the Tax law and Licensing Law. Both laws help in their different roles ensuring laydown guidelines are purused and carried out effectively. The generation and collection of tax; the issuance, revocation, and conditional collection of licenses.
Examples of Private Law in NIGERIA
1.Contract Law:
It is a well-spelled law that ensures that all parties are kept to their agreement. In this type of law, it governs and ensures that disputes are handled between individuals.
It is a private law because all parties or entities involved are individuals or groups of people or organizations. There is no presence of the state in the party for or against.
A typical example of a contract law in my country is the Lease agreement contract and Employment contract. These are contracts that are binding as soon as both parties sign off the contract papers.
2.Family Contract:
This may be one of the commonest private laws that happens regularly and as well closer to us. Concerns about marriages, divorces, child custody, will, and inheritance concerns are all handled by the family contract.
This is strictly a private law because of its centric involvement of person-to-person disclosure. There is no family-to-government disagreement in this situation.
A typical example of family law in my country is that of marriage and divorce laws, child custody laws, adoption, inheritance, etc.

Part II
-. Of all the branches of law (explained in class or that you know and have not been explained), which one seems more interesting to you and why?
My most interesting is the environmental law.
Relevance to Present Realities
This is one law that tops the agenda on concerns around climate change. This is a global concern that this law tends to address. It puts all a sundry into consideration while addressing climate change.
Also, the issue of public awareness of environmental issues tends to grow and be in the spotlight. The need for its legal protection and conservation is spotlighted and becoming increasingly relevant.
Interdisciplinary Connection
This is a law that connects with other facets of life, including sciences, economics, and politics. This, in turn,tends to give a broader view on how best to legislate strongly and improve those systems that improve environmental stewardship.
Impact on the Society
Where our environment iis affected, our health is under treat too. Environmental laws help to produce long-lasting legal protections and guidelines that help limit or eradicate actions that undermine human health. Pollution that affects both air and water is in the spotlight.
Global Integration
Recently, environmental laws have been cut across borders. It has no limitation to just its immediate society but cuts across borders with treaties and agreements signed for a better world. A united front is formed through environmental laws integration with other bilateral integrations consummated.

Part III
-. We have all had or lived moments within one of the branches of law. So you must tell us about that experience of your own or that of others but of which you have full knowledge and can adapt or compare it with any of the types of law explained in the class.
You must tell that legal situation in detail and explain why you consider it part of that right.
Experience Overview:
This is quite a difficult one since most of us are not lawyers by practice to decipher some of the issues that must have transpired in detail. However, I will narrate a divorce matter that happened some time ago. It was a case of two divergent persons who found a point of union but collapsed just when the point no longer could hold strong.
It was barely one year of marriage and a letter of divorce was already found in the courts. At this time point, it was less complicated as there were no children in this marriage to hold strong for child custody matters or spousal support. Rather it was barely centered on assets division.
Legal Process Overview
The Family and Matrimonial Causes Act, which the divorce framework hinges on, a divorce filing was made to outline grounds for divorce, which was stated to be an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage with the division of assets on the review.
The couple who already used part of the accruals from the wedding spoils to acquire properties and own a fat joint account presented this for a fair sharing of entitlement to all parties. This was negotiated with the courts using the provisions to arrive at a fair distribution.
Why the Narrated Concerns Falls Under the Private Law (Family Contract -Law)
Since this is a case of personal relationships and family matters it therefore be treated under the family law.
This concern before us which is a divorce matter would draw its legal framework from the "Family and Matrimonial Causes Act," which is obligatory to handle all types of matrimonial concerns concerning divorce, child custody, and inheritance/spousal cases.
In summary, the different branches of law allow us to know how exactly to handle concerns when the need arises. Be it under the public or private law classes; we should be able to determine what distinguishes them as one deal between state and persons and the other deals between individuals.
Thank you.
I invite @babschnae, @michelangelo3, and @sur-riti
