Business law is the body of law
which governs business and commerce and is often considered
to be a branch of civil law and deals both with issues of
private law and public law. Commercial law regulates
corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture
and sales of consumer goods. Many countries have adopted
civil codes which contain comprehensive statements of their
commercial law. In the United States, commercial law is the
province of both the Congress under its power to regulate
interstate commerce, and the states under their police
power. Efforts have been made to create a unified body of
commercial law in the US: the most successful of these
attempts has resulted in the general adoption of the Uniform
Commercial Code.

Crime in a broad sense is an act
that violates a political or moral law of any one person or
social grouping. In the narrow sense, a crime is a violation
of criminal law; in many nations, there are criminal
standards of bad behaviour. However, not all violations of
the law are considered crimes, for example most traffic
violations or breaches of contract.

General Law (a loanword from Old
Norse lagu), in politics and jurisprudence, is a set of
rules or norms of conduct which mandate, proscribe or permit
specified relationships among people and organizations,
provide methods for ensuring the impartial treatment of such
people, and provide punishments of/for those who do not
follow the established rules of conduct.
Law is typically administered through a system of courts, in
which judges hear disputes between parties and apply a set
of rules in order to provide an outcome that is just and
fair. The manner in which law is administered is known as a
legal system, which typically has developed through
tradition in each country.

Legal Basics: Practice of law is
typically overseen by either a government organization or
independent regulating body such as a bar association or
barrister society. To practice law--i.e., appear in front of
a judge on behalf of someone, draft legal documents,
etc.--the practitioner must be certified by the regulating
body. This usually entails a two or three-year program at a
university’s faculty of law or a law school, followed by an
entrance examination (e.g., bar admission).
Once accredited, a legal practitioner will often work in a
law firm, as well as in government, a private corporation or
even work as a sole practitioner.
A significant component to the practice of law in the common
law tradition involves legal research in order to determine
the current state of the law. This usually entails exploring
case reporters, legal periodicals, and legislation. The same
is true in civilian systems when the interpretation of the
law is not clear.

Liberty Laws were a series of laws passed by several
U.S. states in the North in the 1850s in response to the
Fugitive Slave Law.
The laws were designed protect free blacks, freedmen, and
fugitive slaves by effectively nullifying the Fugitive Slave
Law without actually invoking the doctrine of nullification,
which is unconstitutional. This was done through provisions
such as forbidding the use of state jails to imprison
alleged fugitives to prevent state officials from enforcing
the strict law and compelling slave bounty hunters to
furnish corroborative proof that his captive was a fugitive,
as well as according the accused the rights to trial by jury
and appeal. Laws in some states made it easier to extradite
a runaway if slave status were confirmed.

Procedural
defenses are a form of defense, via which a defendant may
argue that they should not be held criminally liable for
breaking the law, as the criminal justice program violated
procedural law as it was creating its case, and trial,
against said defendant. Such defenses tend to be unpopular
with the public, as they allow a person who is clearly
guilty of a crime to "get off on a technicality"; absent
such defenses, however, there is little to prevent the
government from abusing certain prosecutorial powers in
order to secure the conviction of innocent persons.

Breaking the law
A crime in a broad sense is an act that violates a political or moral law of any one person or social grouping. In the narrow sense, a crime is a violation of criminal law; in many nations, there are criminal standards of bad behaviour. However, not all violations of the law are considered crimes, for example most traffic violations or breaches of contract.
A crime can be the action of violating or breaking a law. According to Western jurisprudence, there must be a simultaneous concurrence of both actus reus ("guilty action") and mens rea ("guilty mind") for a crime to have been committed; except in crimes of strict liability. In order for prosecution, some laws require proof of causality, relating the defendant's actions to the criminal event in question. In addition, some laws require that attendant circumstances have occurred, in order for a crime to have occurred. Also, in order for a crime to be prosecuted, corpus delicti (or "proof of a crime") must be established.
It may also be a crime to conspire in order to commit other crimes, or helping others to commit crimes (which makes one an accomplice); in some systems the simple association for organizing a crime is punished. The attempt to commit a crime may to be punished, even if the crime is not completed (in California, USA e.g., the punishment can be half of that for the crime itself); for instance, it is generally a crime to attempt to murder someone, even if one has not succeeded in doing so.
