The following information is about Public Law.
Public Law Defined
Those laws which regulate (1) the structure and administration of the government, (2) the conduct of the government in its relations with its citizens, (3) the responsibilities of government employees and (4) the relationships with foreign governments. Good examples are criminal and constitutional law. It can be distinguished from private law, which regulates the private conduct between individuals, without direct involvement of the government. For example, an unsolicited punch in the nose would constitute a crime for which the government would prosecute under criminal law but for which there would also be a private legal action possible by the injured party under tort law, which is private law although governments can be held responsible under tort law. As you can see, the line is often hard to draw between public and private law.
This definition is in context to Canadian Law. See more contextual defintions for Public Law.

- The Wenatchee World Online - State court to hear NCRL Internet filter lawsuit: "The Washington State Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday over whether an Internet filter at the North Central Regional Library System violates freedom of speech rights. The American Civil Liberties Union sued the regional library system in 2006 on behalf of three North Central Washington residents and a pro-gun organization who say the library?s Internet filter policy violated their state and federal freedom of speech rights." I'm with the ACLU, legal adults should be able to request the filter to be removed, though personally I would like there to not be any filtering in place.
