Classification of Slovak legal system

Legal system consists of logically set-up legal rules. It is divided into two main groups, specifically the international law and the internal law. The international law is generated by treaties, which are created among individual states. The internal law is further divided into public law and personal law. In public law interrelations among subjects of law are based upon superiority and inferiority. In personal law, relations are based upon bilateral equation. This dual structure, so the classification of law into public and personal law is a characteristic feature of all legal school-systems/" class="wiki-link" title="Viac o: systems">systems, which belong only to continental legal system. Every branch of law modifies definite social relation by its rules.

Further part of personal law is family law. This kind of law is solving relations or disputes, which are in family, between husband and wife, between children and parents etc. Commercial law solve relations between entrepreneurs.
