definition: Law that pertains to the following areas: (a) the relationship between private citizens and the state; (b) the organization, obligations, immunities, and powers of the state; and (c) the relationship between the state and foreign powers. Public law stands in contrast to private law, which only concerns relations between private individuals or corporations. [Source: The SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences; Public Law]
