Procedural Law
Procedural Law refers to the set of rules that govern the process of legal proceedings in courts. It outlines how a case moves through the legal system, including the steps for filing a lawsuit, conducting trials, and appealing decisions. This type of law ensures that all parties involved in a legal dispute follow the same procedures, promoting fairness and consistency.
In contrast to Substantive Law, which defines rights and obligations, procedural law focuses on the methods and processes used to enforce those rights. It includes rules about evidence, court jurisdiction, and the roles of judges and lawyers, ensuring that justice is administered effectively.
