I know what each are, but are a little confused as to what kind of laws are public and what are private.
A lot of laws that are considered public laws infringe of people's rights which is what private law is about?
Help? Aha
 
Public law is statutory- criminal law


So like a murder case "The state versus OJ Simpson", for example- is public law


And private law is "Jones v Smith"- Cases regarding financial damages.
