Direito Público

Direito Público, or Public Law, governs the relationship between individuals and the state, as well as the organization and functioning of government institutions. It includes areas such as constitutional law, administrative law, and criminal law. Its primary focus is on maintaining order, protecting citizens' rights, and ensuring public interests are upheld. Unlike private law, which deals with relationships between private individuals or entities, Public Law sets the framework for how government operates and interacts with society, ensuring legal stability and accountability.
