Egypt
The Egyptian legal system is built on both the Islamic law, also known as Shariah, and Napoleonic Code, which was first introduced since the French army invaded and conquered Egypt in 1799. As is typically the case, a distinction can be drawn between private laws and public law in Egypt.

Internal public law
- Internal public law is divided into several branches
- a)Constitutional law
- b) Administrative law
- c) criminal law which includes penal law and criminal procedures law
- d) finance and taxation law
- e) trade regulations,
- f) labor law,
- g) the law of judicial organization and judicial procedures.
Alternate views consider trade regulations, labor law and judicial procedures law as part of private law.
However, trade regulations and the organization of commerce and investments must be separated from commercial law and must be considered as part of public law. In addition, labor law represents the interference of state into labor relations to reflect the social and public interests of the nation as a whole and therefore, must be considered as part of public law as well. Furthermore, the law of judical organization is in fact part of constitutional law as it deals with the organization of the judicial authority and is thus considered as an intergral part of public law.
