Private Law involves disputes between individuals and includes which of the following?

• A. Wills and Contracts
• B. Constitutional Law
• C. Tax Law
• D. Criminal Law

Answer: (A)

Private Law deals with legal relationships between private individuals and entities, focusing on civil matters like obligations, property, and succession. Wills and Contracts fit here because they govern private rights and duties: a will determines how someone’s estate is distributed after death, and a contract creates enforceable obligations between private parties. In contrast, Constitutional Law governs the powers of the government, Tax Law deals with government revenue and fiscal policy, and Criminal Law addresses offenses against the state. So wills and contracts are the topics that fall under Private Law.
