What is the difference between procedural and substantive law? |
 |
Substantive law defines how the facts in the case will be handled, as well as how the crime is to be charged. In essence, it deals with the "substance" of the matter.
Procedural law provides the "process" that the case will go through (whether it goes to trial or not). The procedural law determines how a proceeding concerning the enforcement of substantive law will occur. |
