Questia, your online research library and paper writing resource, contains thousands of scholarly articles and books in the Areas of Law.
Because the legal system is in reference to every part of societal involvement, it is divided into areas of practice that attorneys, plaintiffs, prosecutors, and judges can identify for a case. By recognizing a suitable division, this allows for the judge and attorneys to strategize fittingly for the given situation. Attorneys also tend to concentrate and achieve expertise through education and experience in one area of law, providing the claims or defense maximum support needed and a higher chance of succeeding in a lawsuit. From corporate laws, health, immigration to tax laws, the more common lawsuits are placed in civil and criminal laws.
