legal rules can be classified in many different ways. Not all legal rules are of the same type. They show differences in purpose, in origin and form, in the Consequences when the rules are breached, and in matters of Procedure Remedies and enforcement. The classification of legal rules sometimes overlap.
For example, the legal rules defining murder (in Malaysia)is a rule of criminal law rather than civil law; of public law rather than private law and of national law rather than international law There are different ways of classifying law.
