A Classificação Decimal do Law[4], iniciada por Doris de Queiroz Carvalho, amplia a seção jurídica da Classificação Decimal de Dewey. Publicada originalmente em 1948, passou por múltiplas revisões e é amplamente utilizada em bibliotecas jurídicas de agências federais brasileiras. O system[5] categoriza normas jurídicas com base na presença ou ausência do state[6], distinguindo entre public law[1] e privado. O direito público envolve poder estatal e interesses gerais, caracterizado pela subordinação, enquanto o private law[2] rege interações individuais com uma relação de coordenação. O sistema de classificação subdivide normas jurídicas em diversos ramos, considerando sua natureza, interesses e partes envolvidas. Com códigos detalhados para diferentes campos jurídicos como Direito Juvenil, Commercial Law[3] e Propriedade Intelectual, oferece uma abordagem abrangente e sistemática para organizar coleções jurídicas, compatível com sistemas de classificação universais.

1. ↑ public law. The division between public and private law derives from Roman legal traditions, particularly Ulpiano's distinction between jus publicum and jus privatum. This classification separates legal rules on the basis of interests (public vs. private), types of legal relations (coordination vs. imposition) and forms of interaction (imperative vs. autonomy). Public law covers international, constitutional, administrative, criminal, financial and tax law, while private law has weakened as the state increasingly intervenes in legal domains. Criticisms of this division include a lack of precision, oversimplification of legal complexities and insufficient differentiation between individual and collective interests. Modern interpretations see the constitution as the foundation of all domestic law, blurring traditional boundaries and suggesting that all law potentially becomes public. The separation reflects the evolving relationship between state and society, highlighting the dynamic nature of legal categorisation.
2. ↑ private law. The distinction between public and private law originates in Roman legal traditions, initially differentiating between state interests and individual utility. This classification is fundamental to legal education and reflects the separation between the public and private spheres. Modern legal scholarship challenges clear demarcation, highlighting the complexity of legal relationships and the emergence of hybrid legal domains. The evolution of constitutional thinking has significantly impacted this distinction, introducing concepts of fundamental rights and judicial review. The 20th century witnessed a transformation in private law through publicisation and constitutionalisation, emphasising human dignity over property rights. This shift represents a movement to place the human person at the centre of legal interpretation, challenging traditional hierarchical legal structures and recognising the interconnectedness of public and private legal domains.
