IGNORING THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN CIVIL LAW & CRIMINAL LAW: THE NATION’S ALBATROSS

One of the facets of our daily lives that have been practically surreptitious in coming to play an ignoble role in our society is that which concerns the unfortunate misconception of the unrelated nature of Civil Law and Criminal Law, and the attendant misapplication of the machinery of justice in relation to disputes that arise between members of the society. The law, as it stands at present, is admittedly a complex concept, and this may invariably account for the high magnitude of the misconception of the principle which the law encompasses.
To learned minds, without losing sight of the indubitable fact that the law is a hydra-headed subject of interesting discourse, the composition of the law is basically two-pronged. The two prongs in question here are the Civil and Criminal Law. By way of analysis, Civil Law is a branch of law that regulates the relationship of citizens amongst themselves and in their dealings with the government, corporate bodies, non-governmental organizations (N.G.O’s) and other legal entities.
