3.National Law and International Law
Simply stated, national law is law which applies to a nation. International law is commonly defined as a body of rules that states and other agents accept as binding obligations in the world community.
If a law concerns the rights of individuals （often including a corporation as a “person”）or the duties owed to people in the society, the law is a civil law.
Essentially, civil law focuses on wrongs against individuals, whereas criminal law focuses on wrongs against the whole society.
An important feature distinguishing criminal and civil law is the sanction imposed on the wrongdoer. Criminal sanctions may include imprisonment while civil sanctions emphasize payment of money.

IV. What are the major legal systems in the world? (1) Civil Law System The term ―civil law‖ (Continental law) and the basis of the law itself are derived originally from the law of ancient Rome. Civil law is the predominant system of law in the world.
Originated in England, common law system has now been adopted by countries like United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Singapore.
Common Law: The common law evolved from custom and was the body of law created and administered by the king’s courts. When a judge decided a new problem in a case before him, that decision would be followed in subsequent cases by judges as a legal rule.
